You sure can!

Check out these videos/topics

How to create a Personal Criteria Forumula (PCF)

Handy PCF example formulas to help you learn the syntax of PCFs!

Constructing more versatile and reusable Personal Criteria Formulas

I would also consider watching all of the videos listed here:

Hopefully you will find TeleChart to be easier than most software packages to learn. We trainers are always here whenever you get a bump in the road. Don't be afraid to ask more questions as the arise.

I think you will find the HUGE library of videos very helpful.

Can you give me a formula for the following:
stochatics turning up
price braking up thru 50 DMA
10 DMA turing up thru 20 DMA
volume up 2X above 50 DMA
Thanks

1. Stochastics turning up: You can write PCF's for Stochastics, but if you're looking for it to be turning up, your best bet might be to sort by Stochastics...either a visual value sort or a visual change sort. Please watch this video to see if it gives you what you want:

Sorting with Stochastics

2. Price crossing up through 50 day MA
3. 10 day MA crossing up through 20 day MA

For these, here are two videos demonstrating two different techniques for finding crossovers of any kind:

Create PCFs and EasyScans to find moving average crossovers
Comparing indicators using Visual Difference sorts

4. Volume 2X greater than the 50 day average: Create this PCF:

(V/AVGV50)*100

Update the PCF, and when you use it to sort or scan, you are looking for values greater than 200.

I watched the video onmoving ave crossing up thru another moving ave
My formula looks like this
(AVGC10/AVGC20)*100 Then set values 100-max
(AVGC10.3/AVGC20.3)*100 Then set values Min -100
This should show stocks where the 10DMA crosses up thru the 20DMA for the last 3 days. Right. But it doesn't
Where did I go wrong

Go to this check list for me to see if your plots are correct:

You might want to try one of the following Boolean formulas(depending on your charts):

Simple:
C > AVGC50 AND C1 <= AVGC50.1

Exponential:

C > XAVGC50 AND C1 <= XAVGC50.1
