Need help with 2 simple formulae:
#1)a formula for 5 day mov.avg crossing up through the 10 day mov.avg. I am using (AVGC5.2/AVGC10.2)*100 I am getting stocks that crossed up several days ago instead of the last day or two.

#2) A formula for the price moving up through the 15 day exponential mov. avg.

Thanks for any help and a great program.

Please try the following:

5 day mov.avg crossing up through the 10 day mov.avg.:

Simple:

AVGC5 > AVGC10 AND AVGC5.1 <= AVGC10.1

Exponential:

XAVGC5 > XAVGC10 AND XAVGC5.1 <= XAVGC10.1

price moving up through the 15 day exponential mov. avg.:

C > XAVGC15 AND C1 <= XAVGC15.1

Why is so hard to find how to put a PCF into a tab? That's all I want to do.
