There may be shorter ways to do this, but the long way will ensure that price never cut through the moving average. This formula uses the low price of each day, so that price will have never touched the moving average at any time during the day. If you want to base your scan on closing prices, replace each L with C.

L20>AVGC20.20 AND L19>AVGC20.19 AND L18>AVGC20.18 AND L17>AVGC20.17 AND L16>AVGC20.16 AND L15>AVGC20.15 AND L14>AVGC20.14 AND L13>AVGC20.13 AND L12>AVGC20.12 AND L11>AVGC20.11 AND L10>AVGC20.10 AND L9>AVGC20.9 AND L8>AVGC20.8 AND L7>AVGC20.7 AND L6>AVGC20.6 AND L5>AVGC20.5 AND L4>AVGC20.4 AND L3>AVGC20.3 AND L2>AVGC20.2 AND L1>AVGC20.1 AND L>AVGC20

You could include, perhaps, every third period from the formula above as sort of a spot check, and you'll likely only run into a few stocks that have violated your condition. Including every period above, though, you can be sure that the price will have never violated the moving average during the entire period.

If you want longer periods, just copy and paste from above, and then change the numbers to reflect the period you want. A little extra work up front, but if you use the PCF for a long time, it makes sense to make it as accurate as possible up front.

I am wondering whether MINLn will return a number and incorporate that number into AVGCn to create a condition, like MINL90>AVGC20.(MINL90)?
thanks

Can't do it. MINL90 is fine by itself, but not after the period following AVGC20.

I did not notice any "or" in your formula. I guess 20dsma is calculated based on 20 bar from today and 180d price goes beyond that.

Looking over your formula I found a few typo errors.

Asking a stock to keep its lows above such a short-term MA as 20 for six months is steep. So steep that, as of last market day, not one stock was able to do it.

Here is the correct formula. I would either reduce the number of terms (down to 3 or less months) or increase the 20 to something else.

L1>AVGC20.1 AND

..Thanks Craig. The one you created is good. I test it and I found two really good stocks: ASGN & ITG. Thanks again.
