Hi,

please advise how i can get a condition into a chart.

i should show over the various bars when the condition is true and when not.

i only seem to be able anymore to add indicators to to the chart, not conditions anymore

played around now 15minutes and havent been able to figure it out,

It is not possible to plot Conditions which were created by clicking on an Indicator and selecting Create Scan Condition on the chart.

If you have a Condition Formula, you can use it as the Boolean Formula in a Custom PCF % True Indicator to plot it on the chart. Just select Add Indicator, choose Custom PCF % True Indicator from the list and then edit the Custom PCF % True Indicator and put your Condition Formula in the Boolean Formula window.

This will plot 100 when the Condition is true and 0 when the Condition is false. You can set the period to something besides 1 and adjust the Average Type as desired to apply a moving average to this series of 100s and 0s. If the Average Type is set to simple, this will allow you to plot the percentage of the time that the Boolean Formula was true during the Period.

yes, that is the way i am used to do it.

but when i say "add indicator" i cant say "custom pcf" anymore.

i tried editing an existing, switching to histogram,  "cant be a boolean expression"

It needs to be a Custom PCF % True Indicator and not a Custom PCF Indicator. They are different. The Custom PCF % True Indicator accepts Boolean (true or false) formulas while the Custom PCF Indicator accepts value based formulas which return numeric results.
