A Signal Marker is probably the way to go for you here. Here's what you would do. Let's assume you want signal when CCI crosses above 100 for instance. You would create a signal (Setup: Signal) with the syntax CCI > 100 AND CCI.1 and save this signal. Then, add the Signal Marker indicator to your chart, select this signal that you've just saved. You have a great deal of flexibility here regarding the "actions" that are taken when the indicator crosses above this level.
If you wanted to signal every time it crossed in either direction, use (CCI > 100 AND CCI.1 < 100 AND CCI.1 >= 100)
If you wanted to look for price crossing a certain level, use (CL > 100 AND CL.1 < 100 AND CL.1 >= 100)
For price crossing above an MA, use CL > MA AND CL.1 < MA.1
For one MA crossing above another, use MA_A > MA_B AND MA_A.1
If you preferred to search a whole list of symbols at once for these conditions, the you'll need to use a Scan. The Scan could use the same syntax suggested above for Signals. Actually, there is a checkbox in the Signal setup window to "Enable this Signal for use as a Scan". Scans have two important settings in addition to Signals. They have an option for periodicity, and an option for the quotepage (group of symbols) on which the scan is to run. Once the scans have been created, they can be scheduled to run periodically.
