    Hey Hahn, Thanks a bunch for the awesome videos. I started using TOS 4 week ago. I am lost on how to create a strategy from couple of studies that I use. I believe I created a scan that works for my combined indicators that I use. I tried to follow your instructions to turn a scan into a strategy, however, my scans are only listed under the scan tab and they do not contain all of the indicators data. Was hoping you may be able to help me to achieve making a strategy. I have been watching hours and hours of videos but none are able to help.
    Thanks.

      I’m glad you are finding some helpful resources to fuel your trading ideas. Chart Strategies and back-testing is a very advanced skill. Not something you should be jumping straight into. I suggest you spend about a year working with chart studies before trying to build custom chart strategies. If you have a clear set of specifications and would like to pay for a professional solution you may consider submitting a custom project request. Just go to the “About” page on this site and read up on all the details about the services we offer, our rates and terms of business.
