My PCF is (C1 > C2 * 1.1) AND C > C1 * 1.02) How do I scan for these conditions? The formula seeks two consecutive uptics the first by 10% and the second by 2%

This should do it:

C1 > (C2 * 1.1) AND C > (C1 * 1.02)

The mis-matched parentheses are creating a Syntax Error (and are not required). Please try the following instead:

C1 > C2 * 1.1 AND C > C1 * 1.02

Once you have the Personal Criteria Formula, you can just use it as an EasyScan Condition.

Craig, Thank you for your last. I was close. Simple question. How do I now use this formula:
C1 > C2 * 1.1 AND C > C1 * 1.02
using easy scan to select the applicable stocks?

Check out the videos Bruce linked above.

Create and calculate your PCF then put it in an EasyScan.

Bruce, Apparntly I was doing the right thing when I tried to get the stocks per my PCF but my machine reverted back to my original list of stocks which is not the PCF selection. This may be a machine problem regarding security issues. I will be checking it unless you have a suggestion. Thanks again

Did you create and calculate the PCF?

Did you add the PCF to an EasyScan?

Did your EasyScan create a WatchList of the same name?

If the answer us YES to all of the above you should have a WatchList that contains all the stocks that meet your conditions.
