Hello,  I recently added this pcf to catch 50/200 MA crossovers: 
(AVGC50.1 < AVGC200.1 AND AVGC50 > AVGC200) OR (AVGC50.1 > AVGC200.1 AND AVGC50 < AVGC200)   
I incorporated it into an easy scan where it screened 39 that met the criteria; however, no choices had any 50/200 crossovers...not even close???  I did have it set to Simple MA for both the scan & my chart template.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thank You

Trusty

I tested your PCF Trusty, got 39 results, but the crossovers on the chart confirm the PCF results.

Double check that "simple" is set for both of your moving averages, and that your chart is on a daily timeframe.

I think it has to be one of those two settings that need adjusting on your set-up.
