Let say am interested in stock having its SMA20 crossing up SMA50 on  a day, 4h, 2h, 1h, 30min, 15min, ... 1min, tick time frames. How can I build one single easyscan that does it all? 

My goal is to quickly find intraday opportunities.

I am pretty sure you will not be able to what you want and will end up needing to create a separate condition and EasyScan for each time frame.

You can scan for conditions happening in multiple time frames by adding all of the conditions to the same EasyScan.

That said, an EasyScan returns symbols in the List to Scan of the EasyScan which currently meet the requirements of all of its EasyScan Conditions.

In other words, the EasyScan is ANDing the conditions. All of the conditions must be true.

I suspect what you want is for at least one of the conditions to be true. There is no way to make an EasyScan OR its conditions.

You can OR requirements in a Condition Formula, but there is no way to mix time frames within the same Condition Formula.

Shimoda,

   It may be possible that combining 2 or 3 of your desired time frames into 1 scan my provide you with good intraday opportunities.

  For example, you may want to combine SMA20 crossing up SMA50  on a shorter time frame like 2 min. AND in the same scan the same SMA20 crossing up SMA50 on a longer time frame like 30 min.
