Not a coder, but following your vids.  I am interested in building a custom TOS watchlist for futures only.  I would also like to create a custom study to allow me to see only trades:

  1.  Close is above (or below)  200 period SMA;
  2. Close price is above (or below)a 20 period price channel for at least 2 days.

I have come up with the following script (top the high side only):

close is greater than or equal to SimpleMovingAvg(“length” = 200).”SMA” and close is greater than PriceChannel().”UpperBand” and close from 1 bars ago is greater than PriceChannel().”UpperBand” from 1 bars ago and close from 3 bars ago is less than or equal to PriceChannel().”UpperBand” from 3 bars ago

I am looking to create the watchlist that will only show futures that meet this criteria.  Also, how would I incorperate the low side into a single script or would I need to build a second script for that?

Thank you for the help.

What you need here is actually a custom scan. The code you place in a custom watchlist column can only display values. It cannot filter the contents of a watchlist. So you will need to take your code and apply it to a Study Filter in a custom scan. Then save that custom scan and use it as the source of your watchlist.

Your code evaluates to a true/false value so it is perfectly suited for running in a Study Filter of a scan. You can add a second Study Filter to the scan for the opposite direction. But you will need to add BOTH of these Study Filters to a new Condition Group set "Any of the following". This will cause the scan to return ticker symbols where either one of those statements is true.
