Can't really specify an exact date range using a PCF, but you could scan for that using this formula today:

C > MINL21.26

That will return True if the current price is above the 21 day low as of 26 days ago. 26 days trading days have passed since August  so the min low of the previous 21 days as of 26 days ago is the August low.

XAVGC13 is the current bar ma. (exp)

AVGC50.1 is the prevous. (simple)

Typically today is compared to yesterday for a cross.

 

Such as:

XAVGC13>AVGC50ANDXAVGC13.1<AVGC50.1

for a cross up.

 

 

Thanks

Diceman - thanks I was wondering if I could do one PCF signal for both up and down.

Yes, but as diceman has pointed out, you would generally compare the same bars to each other.

SGN(XAVGC13 - AVGC50) <> SGN(XAVGC13.1 - AVGC50.1)
