What are the PCFs for 17 DMA crossing 50 DMA (< & >) using a simple moving average?

I'm also hoping you can answer my 7 other questions in the post I sent last night around 8 p.m. entitled "PCF Questions Miscellaneous" so I can put the answers to work this weekend, thanks guys.

Please try one or more of the following:

SMA17 xUp SMA50:

AVGC17 > AVGC50 AND AVGC17.1 <= AVGC50.1

SMA18 xDn SMA50

AVGC17 < AVGC50 AND AVGC17.1 >= AVGC50.1

SMA18 crossing SMA50 (either direction):

SGN(AVGC17 - AVGC5) <> SGN(AVGC17.1 - AVGC50.1)

Your ten part question (PCF Miscellaneous Questions) is what I was working on. But keep in mind that I will generally interrupt writing a long answer to a long question when something quicker comes up (you might think of it as an express lane for people with fewer items in their cart).

Hi Bruce,

1. Thanks a million for the SMA PCFs below; just what I was looking for, much appreciated.

2. Regarding the express lane, I understand completely; if you can't get to it until Monday I will look forward to your suggestions at that time.  I know you all have full plates at times.  Meanwhile I will review the 5 videos you've recommended below.

Keep up the good work and thanks again for the great support; have a great weekend.  I'll check tonight to see if you got back to the slow lane; if not, see you there next week.

I just finished up with a preliminary answer to your other question. I suspect it will bring up additional questions, but we'll answer anything that comes up in that topic.
