Hello, I am trying to make a scan for something is that not equal to one of my criteria. I will use some demo code in this example.
def pop = (close[1] * 1.2) < close and volume > 100000; I need to scan for something where there was the following pattern: Day 1: no pop Day 2: pop Day 3: no pop I don’t know how to scan for something where there was “no pop” 1 day ago and “no pop” 3 days ago. Is there a not equals sign for think or swim? Here’s my attempt: plot scan = is not equal to pop[3] and pop[2] and is not equal to pop[1]; Thank you!

No, every Study Filter you add to the scan is added as “equals true”. So you need to construct code that will check for a condition and exclude stocks where that condition is NOT true. The way we do this in most programing languages is to create a true/false condition, then place an exclamation point immediately before it. The exclamation point is the same as saying NOT. (as in NOT true). So from your example:
In english this is: return true when pop[3] is false, pop[2] is true and pop[1] is false. Marked as spam
