Simple Price Crosses Moving Average Screen

  All I need is a simple code to screen for when the price crosses the 200 day moving average – either bullish or bearish. I haven’t a clue.

  Try this one:

  x = 0 Avg200 = Average[200](close) IF (close CROSSES OVER Avg200) OR (close CROSSES UNDER Avg200) THEN x = 1 ENDIF SCREENER [x] (x AS "criterium")

  1 2 3 4 5 6

  x = 0 Avg200 = Average[200](close) IF (close CROSSES OVER Avg200) OR (close CROSSES UNDER Avg200) THEN    x = 1 ENDIF SCREENER [x] (x AS "criterium")

  Thanks Roberto.  I added a volume screen to it. Not sure it’s the right one but it’s a start. Looking for breakouts bullish or bearish from just above the 100 day moving average or 200 day. Preferably when these moving averages are “flat” against the price on the charts.

  x = 0
  Avg100 = Average[100](close)
  IF (close CROSSES OVER Avg100) OR (close CROSSES UNDER Avg100) THEN
  x = 1
  ENDIF
  SCREENER [x] (x AS “criterium”)
  v = volume

  count = 0
  for i = 1 to 75 do
  if v>volume[i] then
  count=count+1
  endif
  next

  condition = count/75>0.9

  screener [condition] (count/75 as “percentage”)

  You cannot use the keyword SCREENEDR more than once, so you have to combune your condition to make only one screener and, unfortunately, you can only use one sortinfg criterium:

  x = 0 Avg100 = Average[100](close) IF (close CROSSES OVER Avg100) OR (close CROSSES UNDER Avg100) THEN x = 1 ENDIF v = volume count = 0 for i = 1 to 75 do if v>volume[i] then count=count+1 endif next condition = count/75>0.9 //SCREENER [x] (x AS “criterium”) screener [x AND condition] (count/75 as “percentage”) //you may use OR, instead but only x OR condition as criterium

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

  x = 0 Avg100 = Average[100](close) IF (close CROSSES OVER Avg100) OR (close CROSSES UNDER Avg100) THEN    x = 1 ENDIF v = volume count = 0 for i = 1 to 75 do    if v>volume[i] then       count=count+1    endif next condition = count/75>0.9 //SCREENER [x] (x AS “criterium”) screener [x AND condition] (count/75 as “percentage”)  //you may use OR, instead but only x OR condition as criterium
