sma(200) uptrend 1 month or less

affolsa1

Hi all,

I'm looking for a scanning sample showing stocks having the sma(200) in an uptrend for 1 month or less.

Thanks for your help...

If you want to catch a turn in any MA, you can test for the MA higher than some short period ago, but less than some longer period.

So,

and [sma(x, close) > y days ago sma(x, close)]
and [sma(x, close) < z days ago sma(x, close)]

where y < z.

Plug in some numbers for x, y and z and experiment for a while to see what you get.

Thanks, it looks like the following works:

and [sma(200, close) > 30 days ago sma(200, close)]
and [30 days ago sma(200, close) < 60 days ago sma(200, close)]

This gives me kind of a curve from a previous downtrend into an uptrend...
