Alternative is to create a Quick Indicator Custom Focus List Column with desired rules in the formula, set charts to weekly, recalc. Then sort. | |

Jim Dean![]() Posts: 3433 Joined: 3/13/2006 Location: L'ville, GA ![]() | Creating a custom Focus List Column is done by right clicking in the FL header. Select the Add OmniScript Column option near the bottom of the list Type in the technical filter-formula just as you would for omniscan, and give the column a name. Click ok to create the column Set the timeframe barlength dropdown to weekly (edit > Dataperiods to change if desired) Todo > Recalc The column will populate either with -1=True or 0=False for Boolean omniscan formulae Sort on the column to see the symbols that passed the test For multiple filter rules, either create separate columns, or mush them together into one column’s Scan formula using “and” connectors. Hopefully that’s enough info. If you need more detail re mechanics, I advise reading the help manual and watching the tutorial videos. | |

Jim Dean![]() Posts: 3433 Joined: 3/13/2006 Location: L'ville, GA ![]() | How about other Timeframes that can be loaded into an OT EOD profile, such as 30min bars, HA bars, etc? Can they work in 202 OmniScan too? | |
