Hello

 

I am wanting to write a pcf on volume and seem to be missing something.  I want to set up a pcf and scan so I can find stocks where the volume for the last 2 days increasing and above a MA of 24.

 

Thanks

Paul

I'm not sure I understand the request, but my best guess would have both of the two most recent volume bars being above the previous volume bar and above the 24-period simplem moving average of volume at the time of the bar:

V > V1 AND V1 > V2 AND V > AVGV24 AND V1 > AVGV24.1

Sorry.  Here is some more info.

 

I want the volume from two days ago to be above the 24EMA and th volume yesterday to be be above the volume of 2 days ago and yesterdays volume above the 24EMA also.

I would actualy do the scan at the end of the day to determine what stocks had increasing volume and above th EMA for the last 2 days

Hope that makes sense.

 

Thanks

Please try the following Condition Formula instead:

V > V1 AND AND V > XAVGV24 AND V1 > XAVGV24.1
