These are just some of the simple scans that can be written with Telechart's very simple language. The samples here are posted to provide a starting point for understanding the potential scanning software has for saving time in finding technical set ups.

If you have any ideas that you are having trouble writing the appropriate code for, use the email below to ask a question. Having used the software for 8 years, I might be able to offer some time saving help. It is possible to create many custom indicators and take advantage of some of Telechart's proprietary indicators to come up with a routine that should lessen the time in searching for winning stocks. In the future I will be posting some of the ideas and custom indicators I have come up with. They might be of help, or they could be the spark for a greater idea by someone else.
