Multi-Timeframe Scans

I am attempting to create a scan which references two other scans that have different time frames.

This scan is written as : SCAN_A and SCAN_B

SCAN_A references a scan with period of 120 min and SCAN_B references a scan with period of 60 mins.

1. Is this the correct syntax?
2. What should the scan period be set to in the multi-period scan?

The scan as written is not working. It is providing results, but the results are incorrect.

Thanks.

Using MPD in Scans

You would use MPD instead of SCAN_A....so...

MPD_A = 1 AND MPD_B = 1

In each of the MPD instances, you would choose the desired periodicity, and choose "Indicator: SIGNAL" and the Setup SIGNAL and choose proper signal.

And since the scan is already going to be operating on one of these periodicities, you can just use one MPD and..

MPD = 1 AND SCAN = 1

and choose the scan that's associated with the periodicity of the scan in the SCAN token.

To make the SCAN show up in the list of SIGNALs, you may have to go into the SCAN setup and check the box "Enable this scan as a signal" and save it.
