- Add a Price for Symbol Indicator to the Chart and change the symbol to VIX--X.
- Add a 20-Period Simple Moving Average to the Price for Symbol Indicator.

Working with Indicators

- Drag and Drop the Price for Symbol Indicator onto its Moving Average and select Create Condition | Below MovAvg 20.
- Drag and Drop the Pocket Pivot Condition onto this new Condition and select Create New Combo Condition.
- Give the Combo Condition a name and select OK.
- Drag and Drop the Price for Symbol Indicator onto its Moving Average and select Create Condition | Above MovAvg 20.

Creating Conditions

- Select Open New BackScan.
- Drag and Drop the Combo Condition into BackScanner and select Buy.
- Drag and Drop the Price for Symbol below MovAvg 20 Condition into BackScanner and select Sell.
- Select Add Trade-Based Rule | Stop Loss 1% | Sell | OK.
- Select Add Trade-Based Rule | Profit Target 20% | Sell | OK.
- Select Add Trade-Based Rule | Trade Length | Greater Than 200 Bars | Sell | OK.

You can right-click on a Rule and select Edit to adjust its settings.
You can Drag and Drop the Rules above or below the other Rules to adjust their Priority (Rules that are higher in the list have a higher priority).
