Hi Bruce, I am about to become a Platinum Member, and I would like some help in creating a  set of formulas for when price crosses  above an opening range high (5 min,15 min, etc) bar, and similarly when price  crosses below and opening range low (5 min, 15 min, etc.) bar

                                       Thank You,

There is no way to do this currently in either version of TC2000 as the Personal Criteria Formula Language does not have any syntax to reference the time of day. It can be done in StockFinder Platinum.

Hi Again Bruce, So would the answer be the same for  daily breakouts and breakdowns? IE, price  breaks above the the past (2, or 5) day high, or below the past (2, or 5) day low?

    Thanks again, Alan Pallat

A Condition for a the high of the current bar being above the high of the previous 2-bars would be:

H > MAXH2.1

And a Condition Formula for the high of the current bar being above the high of the previous 5-bars would be:

H > MAXH5.1

A Condition for a the low of the current bar being below the low of the previous 2-bars would be:

L < MINL2.1

And a Condition Formula for the high of the current bar being above the high of the previous 5-bars would be:

L < MINL5.1

Thank You Bruce, this is very helpful,....but can I now take these formulas, and use them at the beginning of the day, when only one bar has formed, without referencing the time of day, but running these formulas on the ie. 5 or 15 min time frame, and if so.. would

A Condition for a the high of the current bar being above the high of the previous bar be

H > MAXH1.1 and similarly ......

A Condition for the high of the current bar being below the low of the of the previous bar be   L < MINL1.1

        Thank You again for you help,    Alan Pallat

Those formulas would work, but H > H1 would probably be more efficient that H > MAXH1.1 and L < L1 would probably be more efficient than L < MINL1.1.

Thanks so much Bruce,      Alan pallat

You're welcome.
