I'm trying to come up with a pcf : (a 5dy high of TSV14 8dy sma) TSV14 8dy sma > 4dy MAX TSV14 8dy sma 1day ago.

So far I have :  AVG(TSV14,8) > MAX  ............ 

Any suggestions?

If the TSV is Simple:

AVG(TSV14,8) > AVG(TSV14.1,8) AND AVG(TSV14,8) > AVG(TSV14.2,8) AND AVG(TSV14,8) > AVG(TSV14.3,8) AND AVG(TSV14,8) > AVG(TSV14.4,8)

If the TSV is Exponential:

XAVG(TSV8,14) > XAVG(TSV8.1,14) AND XAVG(TSV8,14) > XAVG(TSV8.2,14) AND XAVG(TSV8,14) > XAVG(TSV8.3,14) AND XAVG(TSV8,14) > XAVG(TSV8.4,14)

Thanks Bruce - that should do the trick.

Can I assume that there is no MIN or MAX expression since this involves a ma of a ma?

Yes. We can't use the Min or Max functions because they only work on individual Indicators and not formulas or other functions. We could have duplicated the functionality using the technique outlined in Min Max PCFs, but that would have been overkill.
