 I'm trying to write a PCF which shows the crossover of a moving average and a custom formula.

The formula is avgc40/avgc40.20.

What is the format for a 10 day moving avg of that formula?  Can this be done in TC2007?

Thanks for your help.

If the Moving Average is Simple:

(AVGC40 / AVGC40.20 + AVGC40.1 / AVGC40.21 + AVGC40.2 / AVGC40.22 + AVGC40.3 / AVGC40.23 + AVGC40.4 / AVGC40.24 + AVGC40.5 / AVGC40.25 + AVGC40.6 / AVGC40.26 + AVGC40.7 / AVGC40.27 + AVGC40.8 / AVGC40.28 + AVGC40.9 / AVGC40.29) / 10

Formula xUp its own SMA10:

9 * AVGC40 / AVGC40.20 > AVGC40.1 / AVGC40.21 + AVGC40.2 / AVGC40.22 + AVGC40.3 / AVGC40.23 + AVGC40.4 / AVGC40.24 + AVGC40.5 / AVGC40.25 + AVGC40.6 / AVGC40.26 + AVGC40.7 / AVGC40.27 + AVGC40.8 / AVGC40.28 + AVGC40.9 / AVGC40.29 AND 9 * AVGC40.1 / AVGC40.21 <= AVGC40.2 / AVGC40.22 + AVGC40.3 / AVGC40.23 + AVGC40.4 / AVGC40.24 + AVGC40.5 / AVGC40.25 + AVGC40.6 / AVGC40.26 + AVGC40.7 / AVGC40.27 + AVGC40.8 / AVGC40.28 + AVGC40.9 / AVGC40.29 + AVGC40.10 / AVGC40.30

Formula xDn its own SMA10:

9 * AVGC40 / AVGC40.20 < AVGC40.1 / AVGC40.21 + AVGC40.2 / AVGC40.22 + AVGC40.3 / AVGC40.23 + AVGC40.4 / AVGC40.24 + AVGC40.5 / AVGC40.25 + AVGC40.6 / AVGC40.26 + AVGC40.7 / AVGC40.27 + AVGC40.8 / AVGC40.28 + AVGC40.9 / AVGC40.29 AND 9 * AVGC40.1 / AVGC40.21 >= AVGC40.2 / AVGC40.22 + AVGC40.3 / AVGC40.23 + AVGC40.4 / AVGC40.24 + AVGC40.5 / AVGC40.25 + AVGC40.6 / AVGC40.26 + AVGC40.7 / AVGC40.27 + AVGC40.8 / AVGC40.28 + AVGC40.9 / AVGC40.29 + AVGC40.10 / AVGC40.30

Formula crossing its own SMA10 (either direction):

SGN(9 * AVGC40 / AVGC40.20 - AVGC40.1 / AVGC40.21 - AVGC40.2 / AVGC40.22 - AVGC40.3 / AVGC40.23 - AVGC40.4 / AVGC40.24 - AVGC40.5 / AVGC40.25 - AVGC40.6 / AVGC40.26 - AVGC40.7 / AVGC40.27 - AVGC40.8 / AVGC40.28 - AVGC40.9 / AVGC40.29) <> SGN(9 * AVGC40.1 / AVGC40.21 - AVGC40.2 / AVGC40.22 - AVGC40.3 / AVGC40.23 - AVGC40.4 / AVGC40.24 - AVGC40.5 / AVGC40.25 - AVGC40.6 / AVGC40.26 - AVGC40.7 / AVGC40.27 - AVGC40.8 / AVGC40.28 - AVGC40.9 / AVGC40.29 - AVGC40.10 / AVGC40.30)
