Scan based only on bar price data?

[Rich_O]

I am trying to set up a scan based only on price data comparisons between two or three recent bars, for key reversals, outside bar, etc.

I see how, in the scan criteria, I can do a relative comparison of price against things like moving averages. However I can't set the top section of the criteria form for relative comparison between prices. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,
Rich

I found a way to do this using simple moving averages with a period of 1 bar. This basically allows relative comparisons as noted in my OP. A scan set up this way seems to be finding the bar patterns I am after.

It is not ideal. I really think the simple operation of comparing recent bar prices directly in the scanner should be supported.
