Hi

I am trying to create (in Telechart) a PCF and/or a custom indicator (%true; boolean formula) for this ....  L < ((2.95 * MINL15.7) - MAXH7.3) / 2 .... but I always receive an error message .... I must be doing something wrong ... but I do not know what?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Christian

Welcome to the forums. A very good foundation for learning how to use TeleChart can be gained by reviewing the following:

If you are new to TeleChart READ THIS FIRST!

I don't get any error messages when using:

L < ((2.95 * MINL15.7) - MAXH7.3) / 2

As either a Personal Criteria Formula or a Custom Percent True Indicator.

Are you sure there isn't anything in the formula besides?

L < ((2.95 * MINL15.7) - MAXH7.3) / 2

That formula is a Boolean formula and should work correctly in a Custom Percent True Indicator. As a regular Custom Indicator it should return "FormulaFORMULA ERROR!!!Must not be a boolean formula)".
