I'm trying to get a scan that will show a stock that has its 5 day EMA above its 20 day EMA for the last three days, but the 5 was below the 20 four days ago. This is what I've tried but it doesn't work. I'm stumped...

Thanx for any help.

(XAVGC5.4 < XAVGC20.4) AND (XAVGC5.3 > XAVGC20.3) AND (XAVGC5.2 > XAVGC20.2) AND (XAVGC5.1 > XAVGC5.1) AND XAVGC5 > XAVGC20)

Check these items:

1. Your PCF's are updated
2. When you updated your PCF's, you did it for All Items in System
3. You are plotting exponential moving averages on the chart, not simple

Also, this portion of your PCF is incorrect (just looks like a typo):

(XAVGC5.1 > XAVGC5.1)

I think you meant (XAVGC5.1 > XAVGC20.1)

Aarrggghhh...it's the ol' "keyboard actuator error" again. Read it; re-read it; read it again . . . still missed the typo. Thanx.

Don't feel bad...it took me awhile to see it also. Hope it all works for you now.
