What am I missing here ? Looking to create a scan whereby the close of stocks on this current bar are above both the 8 and 14 EMA while the closes of one bar ago were both under the 8 and 14 EMA ? This is what I am trying now.
C > EMA(8) AND C > EMA(14) AND C[1] < EMA(8) AND C < EMA(14)

Thanking you in advance,

Gerry

Maybe it is just the last two conditions all of which refer to yesterday?

The close yesterday for the last term, referring to today's EMA(14):
C[1] < EMA (14)

If the EMA's are yesterdays values, then maybe:

C[1] < EMA[1](8) AND C[1] < EMA[1](14)

Might be worth trying . . .

Thanks for your reply Mark. That's not doing it. If I run my a scan on the first half I get could results and if I run the second half I also get good results. But when I try to combine both of them is where I run into a problem. But thanks for your effort.

Mark had right idea. Try this:

C > EMA(8) AND C > EMA(14) AND C[1] <= EMA(8)[1] AND C[1] <= EMA(14)[1]

Try this one. It uses a shorter lag MA and catches a symbol at the crossing of the MAs going up. The scan seems to show some promising ones but I noticed it can also give a lot of whipsaws. Might need to experiment with period of MAs.

(C > ZMA(8) AND C > ZMA(14)) AND (C[1] <= ZMA(8)[1] AND C[1] <= ZMA(14)[1])and(ZMA(8)>ZMA(14)and ZMA(8)[1](14)[1])

Having trouble getting the formula copied right into this message. here it is:

(C > ZMA(8) AND C > ZMA(14)) AND (C[1] <= ZMA(8)[1] AND C[1] <= ZMA(14)[1])

and(ZMA(8)>ZMA(14)and

ZMA(8)[1]< ZMA(14)[1])
