How do I write a PCF for distance between an exponential moving average and an ema of that ema.

 

For example   XAVGC3 > AVG(XAVGC3,3)

I am looking to guage when the distance constricts or expands between these two moving averages.

 

Also AVGC3 > AVG(XAVGC3,3)

 

Thank you in advance!

The difference between XAVGC3 and AVG(XAVGC3,3) could be written as:

XAVGC3 - AVG(XAVGC3,3)

The absolute difference between XAVGC3 and AVG(XAVGC3,3) could be written as:

ABS(XAVGC3 - AVG(XAVGC3,3))

The percent difference (as a percentage of AVG(XAVGC3,3)) between XAVGC3 and AVG(XAVGC3,3) could be written as:

100 * (XAVGC3 / AVG(XAVGC3, 3) - 1)

The absolute percent difference between XAVGC3 and AVG(XAVGC3,3) could be written as:

100 * ABS(XAVGC3 / AVG(XAVGC3, 3) - 1)

Doing the same for the differences between AVGC3 and AVG(XAVGC3, 3) is just a matter of replacing the first XAVGC3 in each formula with AVGC3 instead.

Is there a way to write a pcf for the first time XAVGC3 > AVG(XAVGC3,3)  goes positive and signals with an up-bar?

If an up bar is the close being above the open.

C > O AND TrueInRow(XAVGC3 > AVG(XAVGC3,3)), 2) = 1

If an up bar is the close being above the previous close.

C > C1 AND TrueInRow(XAVGC3 > AVG(XAVGC3,3)), 2) = 1
