I want to set up rules to scan using the directional index DMI. Buy when DI+ crosses above DI- and sell when DI- crosses above DI+. In addition ADX should be above 20 and rising.

Also want to set up a scan of the difference of (DI+) -(DI-)

Appreciate your help.
Is there a place on your web site where scans are already setup from other requests?

While it is possible to identify the crossover of the +DI and -DI using a PCF as long as the DX period is known (you would need to provide it if you want us to help you create the formulas), I am not aware of a practical method of creating the ADX line itself as a Personal Criteria Formula. It is possible to sort by ADX using Indicator Sorts however.

Sorting by the ADX indicator
Average Directional Index (ADX)
PCF for Wilder's Directional Movement DMI-crossovers
PCF for Wilder's DX, and/or a CI for Wilder's ADX

EasyScans and Personal Criteria Formulas are located in numerous topics throughout the forums and are not compiled into a single list as such a list would be way to long to be practical.

You could click the Watch This Topic link above to be notified by email when someone replies, or you could just check the topic later and you'll see any replies.

I searched the forum for other posts you've made and the two above are the only ones I found.

We do not provide pre-market or after hours data at this time.

zari,
If you are talking about the same kind of Episodic Pivots discussed in Episodic Pivots and "Idea Pickle", you could use each of the nine Personal Criteria Formulas given as an EasyScan Condition in its own EasyScan (don't use more than one in any given EasyScan).

zari,
If you want to have tabs displaying the results of the Personal Criteria Formulas instead of using EasyScans as suggested, the Customize the Information Displayed in the WatchList topic demonstrates how to customize your WatchList Columns.

You would start by creating the Personal Criteria Formula. Select New | New Personal Criteria Formula | Give the PCF a Name | OK | Paste the PCF into the Editing Formula Window | Save.

How to create a Personal Criteria Forumula (PCF)

Then you would create an EasyScan with the PCF as its only EasyScan Condition. Select New | New EasyScan | Add New Condition : Your PCF | Save | Give the EasyScan a Name | OK.
