If you combine the three conditions into a flex condition, they can pass at any time within the flex period. In the example below, the flex period is set to 30 days. Remember that a flex condition is ultimately a "single" condition.

At first this may not make sense since it is made up of multiple conditions. You can think of these multiple conditions as making up a single "pattern" within a window of time. The flex condition is just like the other "single" conditions in the set even though it is made up of three conditions. Those three conditions make up a single pattern of "double new high".

To create a new flex condition, click Add Condition while in an editor and choose New Flex Condition. Saving a flex condition will add it to your library just like saving any other condition. Note: The last condition of a flex condition must always be passing on the last bar of the flex period to be true.

Just save it once. You apply timeframes to conditions at the time you use them, just like the timeframe picker on your charts. This makes it convenient to switch timeframes on your scans without having to open and edit your conditions every time.

If you have five conditions in your scan, all five time frames can be changed with just a couple clicks. Timeframes can now be linked between scans and charts so your scan results automatically match your charts. By default, conditions are saved without timeframes. If you wish to keep hard timeframes on your conditions, check the box "Use mixed timeframes". This will allow you to save a specific timeframe for each condition in a set.

This feature alone will save you hours. Notice that scans now have a timeframe picker and timeframe link color. The example below is scanning for stocks that are above their Bollinger band top channel.

If you set the timeframe link color on the watchlist and chart to the same color orange in this case , the timeframes will stay synced between your scan results and chart. As you switch timeframes on your chart, the scan results will always match.

If you change your chart to weekly, the scan will automatically refresh and show charts crossing up through the weekly channel top. You can add colors to any plots based on conditions. The example below colors the price white when RSI 9 makes a double bottom within a 50 bar flex period. Please use this only as an example to help you develop your own ideas. Do not make investment decisions based on it. Coloring prices helps quickly identify when your conditions passed historically on a chart.
