Scanning for keltner Channel cross

slikjunk

I would like to scan to see if today's close exceeded the lowest upper keltner channel over the past 20 days. Can anyone provide how to put this in the scan engine?

You want to use the min( ) function to get the lowest value over a period of time.

Here's a link on writing min and max scans.

and a link on all functions available

So, for the min function, you add the lookback period first, and the data item second

and [close > min(20, Kelt...) // I forget Kelt syntax

If you want the first time the close crosses, use the crossover operator "x"

and [close x min(20, Kelt...) // I forget Kelt syntax
