By crossing do you mean the MACD line crossing its moving average line?

Is your MACD simple or exponential?

This should work:

AVG(AVGC10,5)>AVG(AVGC30,5) AND
AVG(AVGC10.1,5)<AVG(AVGC30.1,5)

What would the pcf formula be if it were exponential?

griego,
You would just add an X to each of the AVGs in the formula:

XAVG(XAVGC10,5) > XAVG(XAVGC30,5) AND XAVG(XAVGC10.1,5) < XAVG(XAVGC30.1,5)
