Hi, can you help me with the following, how do I write...

1. Stock’s 10-period ADX must be 35 or greater.

2. Yesterday’s close must be the fifth consecutive day that the stock closed
below it’s 2-period SMA.

Personal Criteria Formulas for ADX itself are too long to be practical, but it is possible to sort by ADX.

Sorting by the ADX indicator
Average Directional Index (ADX)
PCF for Wilder's Directional Movement DMI-crossovers
PCF for Wilder's DX, and/or a CI for Wilder's ADX

Taken literally the formula would be:

C < AVGC2 AND C1 < AVGC2.1 AND C2 < AVGC2.2 AND C3 < AVGC2.3 AND C4 < AVGC2.4

But the following shorter formula should return the same results:

C < C1 AND C1 < C2 AND C2 < C3 AND C3 < C4 AND C4 < C5
