I have created a personal watchlist for the options, now I want to be able to use the Dark Cloud Cover. I went back and tried entering all the criteria into PCF and got syntax on the 1st line. Couldn't go any farther.
Close as % of Open 1 day ago (100.01 to MAX)
This is really getting stupid. I watched the video for the 4rth time.
What is going on? Why can't we have this as a standard scan?
If I can't get this to work soon, I am returning it. Do others have success and get all stocks with dark cloud covers to appear on a list?
Please help me more. Thanks, Michelle
Let's take it right from the 1st click of the mouse!
I already have a personal watchlist created--Oct. Earnings that we can use. 270 stocks are in it.

There are 6 PCF's required for the Dark Cloud Cover. They are listed here along with the EasyScan parameters needed:

Trouble installing candlestick PCF's

The actual formulas for these PCF's are given here:

PCFs and EasyScans for Candlestick Patterns

All six need to be entered as separate PCF's, and then your PCF's need to be updated. Instructions for how to do that can be found here:

How to create a Personal Criteria Forumula (PCF)

The PCF you mention (Close as % of Open 1 Day Ago) is as follows:

C1/O1*100

When pasted into my TeleChart, I do not get a syntax error.

Please copy and paste each of the six formulas needed into separate PCF's update them, and then add them to your EasyScan according to the instructions in the first link above.

shell,

If you look at the instructions I give at the top of:

PCFs and EasyScans for Candlestick Patterns

Close as % of Open 1 day ago is the name of the PCF.

The formula is in the list of PCFs in that post.

Create each of the PCFs named using the formulas in the post then use the range selector to limit it (based on what is in parens)

shell,

I made some arrangements for you and heard you now understand the instructions for the candle post. Is that the case?
