How to Create a Condition Set With Multiple Conditions
Combining multiple conditions in a Condition Set is simple. Conditions can be mixed and matched from different indicators, in different time frames and created in different ways (e.g. from the chart, out of the library or with formula PCFs). For this example we are going to create a Condition Set to find stocks which meet the following criteria now: Price between $10 and $100, Average Daily Volume Greater than 500,000 shares, Stochastics is overbought and the stock is currently making a new 50 day high.
1. Click EasyScan in the main toolbar
2. Click New Condition Set
Selecting New Condition would allow you to create a single new condition instead of a new set of conditions.
3. This opens the Condition Set editor
4. Click Add Condition to begin build the first condition
Use the typing shortcut to select Price as the indicator to use. Click PRICE in the list.
Click the Condition dropdown and select Is Between from the list.
Set the desired Minimum and Maximum values and click OK.
Note: when creating individual conditions, click the Save button to name and add them in the condition library for re-use.
5. Add the next condition
Click + Add Condition (the example will be: Average Volume Greater than 500,000 shares per day)
Use the typing shortcut in the Search field to type the number 90.
Select Volume 90-Day from the list.
Set the Greater Than value to 500000 and click OK.
6. Add the next condition
Click + Add Condition (the example will be: Stochastics overbought)
Use the typing shortcut in the Search field to type part of the word Stochastics
Select Stochastics from the list.
Set the Condition (Greater Than) value to 80 and click OK.
7. Add Final Criteria
Click + Add Condition (Price New 50 Bar High)
Use the typing shortcut to select Price as the indicator to use. Click PRICE in the list.
Click the Condition drop down and select New High. Set the At field to 50. Click OK.
The Condition Set is now complete.
When constructing Condition Sets, click the Save button to name and add the set to the Condition Set library for re-use.
