Hi Bruce,

What would you recommend approach-wise for finding a bar that meets multiple conditions for X periods?

For example, a scan showing all stocks in the last two weeks that has a single Daily candlestick that is up 5% *and* on Volume that is 300+% (for its 50 EMA).

I would create a Custom PCF % True Indicator with the following settings on a daily chart:

- Period: 10
- Average Type: Simple
- Formula: C >= 1.05 * C1 AND V >= 4 * XAVGV50

Adding and Moving Indicators

The rest of the settings do not matter. Then I would click on the Custom PCF % True Indicator select Create Scan Condition to create a condition for the Custom PCF % True Indicator having a value greater than 0.

Create Conditions from Your Chart

The Formula setting given above assumes that being up 5% means the current close is at least 5% above the previous close. If you mean the current close is at least 5% above the current open, then you would need to use the following Formula setting instead:

C >= 1.05 * O AND V >= 4 * XAVGV50
