Modifying Crossover scan
I would like to modify the SC predefined scan to show results for any crossovers within the last 10 days instead of one day. The predefined scan is:
[type = stock] AND [Daily SMA(20,Daily Volume) > 40000] AND [Daily SMA(50,Daily Close) > Daily SMA(200,Daily Close)] AND [Yesterday's Daily SMA(50,Daily Close) <= Yesterday's Daily SMA(200,Daily Close)]
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks,
Phil

If there was a crossover sometime in the past, then that condition was not true some time in the past. Then, the true condition must have been sma50 > sma200. The scan above says that was yesterday.
In your case, you want the crossover to have happened not just yesterday, but any day less than ten days ago. So you need to write a line that specifies the condition that is not true today (50>200) was true 10 days ago, so it would be (you add the proper syntax) 10 days ago sma50 > 10 days ago sma200.
Hope that helps. If you get stuck, post what you have.
