I've checked a bunch of the discussions and postings about PCFs but I haven't seen anything that might allow me to "scan" for when MULTIPLE moving averages are simply CLOSE to each other, vs. actually being or crossing above/below.

For example, the 10, 20 and 50 Day Simple Moving Averages are within 1% of each other ,or 2% of each other (in a tightening/overlapping range). Similar to Bollinger Bands getting narrow prior to a breakout/breakdown, I'm interested in doing this for 3 moving averages.

Any advice, insights or formulas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

This was in one of the Tuesday night Webinars:

AvgC20 >= AvgC50*0.99 and
AvgC20 <= AvgC50*1.01 and
AvgC100 >= AvgC50*0.99 and
AvgC100 <= AvgC50*1.01

 

Gives you 20, 50 and 100 Averages within 1%

I haven't tried them yet, but they look reasonable and workable.  THANK YOU!
