Moving average cross over

Gregory

Need help writing a scan for stocks that meet the criteria when the 8ema, 21ema & 50sma intersect one day ago.

I think you need to be more specific about what "intersect" means.

You need to list out which MAs cross which, and in what direction. For instance, does the falling 21 cross the falling 50? or the rising 50? or the rising 21 the rising 50, etc. Once you spell it out in plain english the coding will be easy.

I meant write a scan for stocks whose 8ema crosses above both the 21ema and 50sma.

I clicked on the thread and it just takes me back to this page. It's not taking me to a thread with similar questions.
