Am trying to scan for the 8 EMA cross over 20 SMA 2 days ago. This is a Bullish scan.

I have a PCF that works somewhat, it gets the cross but not 2 days ago. Would you tell me what I am doing wrong??

XAVGC8.1 > AVGC20.1 AND XAVGC8.2 >= AVGC20.2

 

Tanks,

You need to change the sign on the second part of the formula. Try this:

XAVGC8.1 > AVGC20.1 AND XAVGC8.2 < AVGC20.2

I would also generally use .1 and .2 for one day ago instead of two days ago. If I were writing the formula for two days ago, I would write it as follows.

XAVGC8.2 > AVGC20.2 AND XAVGC8.3 <= AVGC20.3
