Trying to create a scan for the RSI crossing up thru its RSI 9 day sma

cprtrain

I'm trying to create a scan for a bullish signal when the RSI crosses up thru its RSI 9 day sma. Here is what I've come up with but I get an error message.

[favorites list is 55] // ALL EXCHANGES 75 DAY POSITIVE DIVERGENCE FEB 18 - 2015-02-18

and [today's daily RSI(14) > today's daily RSI(14) sma(9)]
and [yesterday's daily RSI(14) < yesterday's daily RSI(14) sma(9)]

The error message that I get is:

Your scan syntax is incorrect. Could not parse "14) SMA(9" located in the clause "TODAY'S DAILY RSI(14) > TODAY'S DAILY RSI(14) SMA(9)" (an integer was expected)

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Yes you are not the only one who has had a little difficulty getting the coding just right. As you are looking to scan for an overlay of an indicator, SMA(9) of the RSI(14).

The normal format for SMA is SMA(period, expression), although we often see it in short form just SMA(9), this is actually SMA(9, close) which is the default. So we just need to replace "close" with the expression we are looking for.


and [today's daily RSI(14) > today's daily sma(9,RSI(14))]
and [yesterday's daily RSI(14) < yesterday's daily sma(9,RSI(14))]

Here's an older article which explains this in more detail.
