Hi...I want to reflect my scan criteria as an indicator on my chart using the PCF % True Indicator.

Here is my scan criteria:

C>AVGC50 AND AVGC7 / AVGC65 >= 100 AND H - C <= .25 * (H -L + ABS(H - C1) + ABS(C1 - L)) / 2 AND H - L >= (AVGH20 - AVGL20) / 2 + (ABS(H - C1) + ABS(C1 - L) + ABS(H1 - C2) + ABS(C2 - L1) + ABS(H2 - C3) + ABS(C3 - L2) + ABS(H3 - C4) + ABS(C4 - L3) + ABS(H4 - C5) + ABS(C5 - L4) + ABS(H5 - C6) + ABS(C6 - L5) + ABS(H6 - C7) + ABS(C7 - L6) + ABS(H7 - C8) + ABS(C8 - L7) + ABS(H8 - C9) + ABS(C9 - L8) + ABS(H9 - C10) + ABS(C10 - L9) + ABS(H10 - C11) + ABS(C11 - L10) + ABS(H11 - C12) + ABS(C12 - L11) + ABS(H12 - C13) + ABS(C13 - L12) + ABS(H13 - C14) + ABS(C14 - L13) + ABS(H14 - C15) + ABS(C15 - L14) + ABS(H15 - C16) + ABS(C16 - L15) + ABS(H16 - C17) + ABS(C17 - L16) + ABS(H17 - C18) + ABS(C18 - L17) + ABS(H18 - C19) + ABS(C19 - L18) + ABS(H19 - C20) + ABS(C20 - L19)) / 40 AND C>O AND C > C1 AND V>AVGV50

It's all fairly self explanatory except perhaps the 4th crtieria which is just asking that the range of today's bar exceed the average true range for the last 20 days.

When I put this into the formula box I don't get any true results.

Could let me know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

Piers

I am happy to read you were able to figure it out on your own. Without actually running any tests or taking a stringent look at the syntax, my best guess at why the Condition Formula wasn't returning any results would be:

AVGC7 / AVGC65 >= 100

It seems like an incredibly strict barrier to overcome to have the 7-Period Moving Average to be at least 100 times the 65-Period Moving Average. None of the other requirements appear to be incorrectly written, unreasonable or contradictory. Did I guess right, or did I miss something else?
