This doesn't change the way the regular scanning within the program works. You can still run EasyScans and click to get updated results at any time. There is no charge for running EasyScans.
Really? Prior to this upgrade to version 12.1 I used to be able to scan on intraday time frames with the Gold version. Now when I try to do that I get a message that I need the Platinum version. Is this not a change to the Gold version capabilities?

Hi diceman. Yes, thanks. This could work in some of the situations I'm lookingat and in others it won't. For the time being, it seems this is the best way to handle this. I'd love to see a Sum function and Occurrences function added to this platform in the future. It's really added flexibility to the scans I've been able to create in other platforms.

OK, now I see what you're describing. You're referring to creating a condition using the Custom PCF % True Indicator. That would work in situations where every element of a formula is OK to be checked against a single % True setting. But what I was looking for is a sytnax that can be written in a custom formula that performs the function of the PCF % True Indicator (without using the long-hand solution you gave earlier) on only one element of a custom formula.Thanks for your help. You've confirmed what I suspected.

QUOTE (Bruce_L) [QUOTE=capa1]OK thanks. Is what you're describing above referring only to a custom indicator or can it also be created in a PCF?
I presented both solutions.
OK, so then the answer to my question is you can't create a %True PCF as a filter (the indicator doesn't matter to me). That's the example I was looking for and by your reply the only way to do it is the long-hand method of writing the PCF to check each day.
Are there any plans to add the functions that I described to get around this long-hand method of checking a condition in the coming year?

OK thanks. Is what you're describing above referring only to a custom indicator or can it also be created in a PCF? If the latter, can you give an example? If it can't be written in a PCF then the method that you describe of specifying every single day of a period to check against is a solution but not what I was looking for, especially when working with long periods. Hence my request for a type of occurrences function or some added grouping operator capabilities (e.g. MAX(Sgn(MAX(H2,10) >= MAX(H1,10),60)= -1). If there was a summing function that could be used over a specified period that could work too. As far as I know that isn't currently possible but correct me if I'm wrong.

[QUOTE=capa1]Hang on. Why can't you use H > MAXH251.1 And MAXH120.1 MAXH251.1 And MAXH120.1

I'm looking to create a scan that detects a channel break of a prior downtrend. I'm using MAX(H2,15) to define the upper channel and I'm interested in only looking at stocks where MAX(H2,15) >= MAX(H1,15) over a certain number of days. In other words the upper 15 day channel high of any prior day can only be equal to or lower than the value 2 days before, but never higher. I'm now willing to accept one occurrence of the upper channel being lower than a subsequent day but I haven't yet found a way to set up a PCF where I can have either no occurrences or one occurence of a higher upper channel. I created a custom indicator that displays occurrences of a higher channel by using Sgn(MAX(H2,15) >= MAX(H1,15). This gives me a value of either -1 or 0 which I thought I might be able to translate into a number of occurrences over which (MAX(H2,15) >= MAX(H1,15) met my condition. I see that there are some restrictions in grouping operators for PCFs and so far I haven't found any syntax I can use to create my requirement. I would appreciate any suggestions you have.Also, since it appears that TC2000 ver.12 doesn't currently have a generic function to handle occurrences of a condition, I would like to submit a request that it be added to the platform in the future. I use another charting platform as well that has such a function and have found it extremely useful in building various scans. The decription of the function is "Occurrences (condition, the last n bars)". This will identify the number of True conditions that occurred for a specified criteria over a specified period.Thanks
