Can you scan from a Custom Quote Formula?

[KajunDC12]

I've found a CAHOLD CBLOHD watchlist column
https://usethinkscript.com/threads/...hen-and-else-double-vs-class.5195/#post-35559
that I have imported. It seems to work well in the watchlist on the stocks I am currently watching. Is there a way for me to use this to perform a custom scan of stocks using the Custom Quote Formula to get a list of stocks I'm not already following?

Thanks - new to this but learning quickly.

For scan above, stuff this in your scanner:

(close > high[1] and low[1] < low[2]) or (close > high[1] and low[1] > low[2] and high[1] < high[2]) or (close > high[2] and close[1] < high[2])

For scan below:

(close < low[1] and high[1] > high[2]) or (close < low[1] and high[1] < high[2] and low[1] > low[2]) or (close < low[2] and close[1] > low[2])

How do you put this into the scanner on Think or Swim? #noob here

Thank you so much! I think steps 2 and 3 I was missing. Eventually I managed to get it in there somehow. Quite a cool scanner!!
