I want to use blocks to scan real time (using a 5 min bar) gap on market open. Either up or down.
Also would be great to be able to only see Gaps that are over a certain percentage and with a min daily volume.
Is there a way to do this? Thanks for the help.

Does this work for interday trading? Thanks in advance.

i am trying to make a pcf that uses three moving averages.
for example if 7 is greater than 13 and 7 and 13 are greater than 25 then true.
Any help would be appriciated.

Also for swing or intermediate trades I have found that the TRIX indicator along with MS and TSV works great.
You can find more information about TRIX in the support section. It is basicly 3 moving averages with a signal line.

monthly or weekly I use a 200 and 50 ema.
any shorter timeframe I use a 20,10,or 5
Hopefully you are looking at all time frames to see how the stock is acting. If the stock is in downtrend on a daily but you then look at a weekly and the stock is trending upward. I would hesitate to short it. It is probably just pulling back and might be a good time to go long. You need to figure out what time frame you are going to trade in and use those charts to go in and out of a stock. Use longer and shorter times to figure out if you want to be in and if you do when to enter.
Hope this help you out.

I have been trying to figure out a way to make an easy scan for trix signal line. Basiclly a cross over of the signal line (in my case an 8 period moving average) over the actual trix. Can you help me out with this?
Thanks,

Oh, almost forgot.
I also recommend you follow no more than 4 stocks. Make sure they have at least 500000 volume. That way you do not have to worry about being able to get in and out of a stock.
I follow 6 stocks. I play them short and long and I know them like the back of my hand.
The last thing. Please paper trade for at least a month or two.

I disagree with what some people say about spending a lot of time finding and trading the right stocks. I think you can do it in an hour or so a day, after you become good at it.
The most important thing for you to do is determine your time frame. If you are just starting out, I would recommend that you swing trade. However note that my swing timeframe and yours could be different. This is what gives us traders the ability to make money.
I would recommend that you use trix plotted in the middle window with cci with and ema price signal overlayed in the bottom window. The top have candle sticks with 3 moving averages. You can start by using 10, 23, and 45. When the trix signals up or down go short or long after it is confirmed by the moving averages opening up and the cci/ema confirm. This does not always work but with proper stop loss and money management you can make a killing on this.
Also know that depending on your account and your time frame. 10 trades a month might be way too many. Most newbees get killed by overtrading. I know I did when I first started out.
Hope this helps you out.
