I watched a couple of the vids about creating conditions today and decided to create my first sequence.  I'm trying to find stocks that had a stochastic > 80 yesterday and stochastic < 80 today. 

The first condition I created tested for stochastic > 80 passing 1 of last 2 bars.  The second condition tested for stochastic < 80 passing 1 of last 1 bars.  Then I put them into a sequence with stochastic > 80 followed by stochastic < 80 and made the span in bars = 2.  Next I added "show true markers.

It looks like it is working but I'm getting 2 arrows instead of 1.  What am I doing wrong?  BTW, if there's a better way to do this I would appreciate any guidance.  TIA.

If you want to use your two base Conditions as is, create a Combo Condition instead of a Sequence Condition.

The easier way would be to just create a single Condition for the Stochastic Crossing Down Through Value: 80.

When I click on "Show True Markers" there are 3 inputs: arrow height, arrow width, and arrow offset.  I'm pretty sure I understand height and width but what is offset?

How far you want to offset the arrows (up or down) from the price plot.  Just another way to customize the true markers.

So now that I can put the arrows on the screen showing when stochastics crosses the 80/20 lines, how do I get Stockfinder to only show those stocks that have crossed?  Would I apply the condition to the filter?

If you want to just mark the items in the WatchList that meet the Conditions you would use a Scan.

Scanning with Conditions

If you want to limit the symbols being displayed in the WatchList to those meeting your Conditions, you would use a Filter.
