How to screen for upcoming possible crossover?

  Hi everyone,

  I’m wanting to screen for stocks where the MACD line has moved up from the previous close period, and is currently say -0.0007 or 0.0007 under the signal line. Essentially, I don’t mind if the MACD is over or under the zero line, but I want to know that the last close has moved up and the gap between MACD and signal is minimal. That way I can look through a list of stocks that may hit my buy signal and determine if my other indicators align.

  Thanks heaps for any assistance!

  You can try with this code: (not tested)

  trigger = 7 // in pips format mmacd = exponentialaverage[12]-exponentialaverage[26] signal = exponentialaverage[9](mmacd) c1 = abs(mmacd-signal)<trigger*pointsize c2 = close>close[1] screener [c1 and c2]

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

  trigger = 7 // in pips format   mmacd = exponentialaverage[12]-exponentialaverage[26] signal = exponentialaverage[9](mmacd)   c1 = abs(mmacd-signal)<trigger*pointsize c2 = close>close[1]   screener [c1 and c2]
