Steps to build your own rules.

1. Write your criteria out in plain English.

Example: All tickers that are greater than 10 and have a stochastic value that has come up from below 20.

2. Identify the different clauses in your criteria.

Example: All tickers that are greater than 10. All tickers that the stochastic value that has come up from below 20.

3. Simplify your clauses.

Example: Close is greater than 10. Yesterdays stochastic is less than 20 and today's stochastic is greater than 20.

4. Identify fields used in your clauses.

Example: [close] is greater than 10. Yesterdays [stochastic] is less than 20 and [stochastic] is greater than 20.

5. Identify functions used in your clauses.

Example: [close] is greater than 10. Val([stochastic],1) is less than 20 and [stochastic] is greater than 20.

6. Identify key words used in your clauses.

Example: [close] > 10. Val([stochastic],1) < 20 and [stochastic] > 20.

7. Write clauses in EDS syntax.

Example: Rule1 if [close] > 10. Rule2 if Val([stochastic],1) < 20 and [stochastic] > 20.
