Hi Could someone help me with the creating scanner for C3 Arrows from this indicator (C3_Max_v2) by Chris along with vertical lines of B4 indicator of Chuck
C3 - https://usethinkscript.com/threads/confirmation-candles-indicator-for-thinkorswim.6316
B4: https://usethinkscript.com/threads/b4-balanced-bb-breakout-for-thinkorswim.5708/

Condition am looking is
1. Up/Down arrow from C3 indicator in last 2 bars
2. Vertical lines from B4 in last 2 bars
3. Macdb dots cross upper/lower BB in last 2 bars

I was able to get 2 conditions working fine like VerticalLines with MacdBB dots but when I add C3, it fails saying its complex scanner
But if I add Vertical lines with C3 Up/down arrow - it works but if I add MacdBB dots, it fails. Looks like all 3 indicators are not working together.

I tried to limit the code to bare minimum but am not sure if that is still complex or am doing it wrong. Thanks in advance.

ToS purposely throttles complex scans to prevent excess runs on the servers.

Solution:
While stuffing all three indicators into one script is too complex, the simple answer is to set up individual scan filters for each indicator condition.
