Okay, that worked and is what I need. Can you explain AND to me? Is it saying that all commas in the code are AND commands?

Also, previous bars are all negative values?

For the AND() function, each item between commas is evaluated and all of them must be TRUE for the AND() function to return a TRUE value. Refer to the information here:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SpreadsheetFunctions.html#AND_Function

There is also an OR() function that works the same way, but only one item needs to be TRUE for the OR() function to return a TRUE value.

And yes, references to previous bars are negative values. There is a Pullback Column in the Numbers Bars study that would be the only time a +1 value would be used.

Also, how do I compile or run a .dll study custom indicator?

Refer to the following:
How to Build an Advanced Custom Study from Source Code

I just don't get it. I follow the instructions. I extract the dll file from the zip. I put it in the "Data" folder. I start SC and it is not in "Studies" as it should be.

What could I possible be missing?

Since this is a Custom Study, it is not going to be in the main list of Sierra Chart studies. To open this kind of study, follow the instructions here:

Also having problems loading stock charts. Using gthe "find symbols" typing it in and hitting open intraday chart and just a black screen with no candles.

You were on a regular trial, which limits the data you have access to and what you can do with the system. We have Activated the trial for your account, so you can now open charts for any symbol for which we have data.
