Hi ... I welcome your help in writing a PCF formula that will search for stocks that have BOTH a Stochastic crossover AND a MACD crossover occurring within a two bar interval. I would like the scan to work on all time intervals such as Daily, Weekly, One Minute, etc. I use Stochastic (5, 5, 5) and MACD (12, 26, 9, C). I appreciate and thank you very much for your help!

Is your stochastics and MACD simple or exponential?
Do you want separate PCFs for each time frame?
We cannot write PCFs for intraday time frames in TeleChart. There is no intraday scanning in TeleChart (you can only do this in Blocks).

Graig:
I'm trying to view stocks whose stochastic has just crossed up thru the 20 level. I have set up a pcf, but it shows up stocks with the sort value "true" and the crossover happening as long as a month ago. I want the crossover either yesterday or at least the past week. What am i doing wrong?
Thanks

We need your PCF and your Stoch Settings to find out. Can you post them for us?

Hi Craig - I'm using Simple for both. The timeframe I'm most interested in is intraday. How do I find out more about scanning intraday charts using Blocks? Are there Training Videos online that I can watch? Thanks, Jay

JCPINVEST,
Please download the attached .scond file to:
\My Documents\Blocks Files\Tool Parts\Strategy Conditions
Once downloaded, you should be able to select Add Condition | My Computer when adding a Strategy Condition to access it.
You can use QuickEdit to adjust the settings or view the Block Diagram.
You can adjust the type of Bars used by adjusting the Strategy TimeFrame. You may wish to review the following:

How do I right a scan for the MACD lines and the histogram crossing the zero line at approximately the same time?

recordz,
I'm going to assume this question is about TeleChart since you are a Gold Customer but do not seem to have any Blocks Data Packages and Services on your account. You didn't specify either your MACD settings, the direction of the cross or the longest number of bars over which these crossovers can occur. I've provided three examples below (using slightly different techniques, settings and even interpretations):
Exponential MACD 12,26,9 Slow, Fast and Histogram xUp Zero (Over 1-Bar):
XAVGC12 - XAVGC26 > 0 AND XAVGC12.1 - XAVGC26.1 <= 0 AND XAVG(XAVGC12,9) - XAVG(XAVGC26,9) > 0 AND XAVG(XAVGC12.1,9) - XAVG(XAVGC26.1,9) <= 0 AND XAVGC12 - XAVGC26 - XAVG(XAVGC12,9) + XAVG(XAVGC26,9) > 0 AND XAVGC12.1 - XAVGC26.1 - XAVG(XAVGC12.1,9) + XAVG(XAVGC26.1,9) <= 0
Simple MACD 10,30,20 Slow, Fast and Histogram xDown Zero (Over 2-Bars or less):
AVGC10 - AVGC30 < 0 AND AVG(AVGC10,20) - AVG(AVGC30,20) < 0 AVGC10 - AVGC30 - AVG(AVGC10,20) + AVG(AVGC30,20) < 0 AND NOT(AVGC10.1 - AVGC30.1 < 0 AND AVG(AVGC10.1,20) - AVG(AVGC30.1,20) < 0 AND AVGC10.1 - AVGC30.1 - AVG(AVGC10.1,20) + AVG(AVGC30.1,20) <= 0) AND AVGC10.2 - AVGC30.2 > 0 AND AVG(AVGC10.2,20) - AVG(AVGC30.2,20) > 0 AND AVGC10.2 - AVGC30.2 - AVG(AVGC10.2,20) + AVG(AVGC30.2,20) > 0
Exponential MACD 8,13,7 Slow Fast and Histogram all cross Zero (either direction over 3-Bars):
SGN(XAVGC8 - XAVGC13) <> SGN(XAVGC8.3 - XAVGC13.3) AND SGN(XAVG(XAVGC8,7) - XAVG(XAVGC13,7)) <> SGN(XAVG(XAVGC8.3,7) - XAVG(XAVGC13.3,7)) AND SGN(XAVGC8 - XAVGC13 - XAVG(XAVGC8,7) + XAVG(XAVGC13,7)) <> SGN(XAVGC8.3 - XAVGC13.3 - XAVG(XAVGC8.3,7) + XAVG(XAVGC13.3,7))
