What is syntax for "Front Weight Moving Average 8"

I've tried FWAVGC8 to no avail.

Thanks,

The Personal Criteria Formula Language does not have syntax built in for a Front Weighted Moving Average. You would need to construct the Moving Average manually:

(8 * C + 7 * C1 + 6 * C2 + 5 * C3 + 4 * C4 + 3 * C5 + 2 * C6 + C7) / 36

Handy PCF example formulas to help you learn the syntax of PCFs!

In general I would suggest clicking on the Moving Average and selecting QuickSort, Add column to WatchList or Create Condition instead of attempting to create an Indicator Formula or Condition Formula involving Front Weighted Moving Averages unless a formula is absolutely required.

Thanks Bruce, was trying to use this as a condition in a scan. I'll try using exponential average.
