I want to scan a list of preferred stocks for weekly change in "impulse" meaning change in both 13 wk EMA and MACD-H. Need to know when both have ticked up, and when both have ticked down.
I need a PCF to assess up or down movement in 13 wk. EMA and weekly MACD-H.
Perhaps indicate (in watchlist value +1 for up, 0 for no change, -1 for down.
I don't see how to do a PCF which looks at MACD-H. Would also appreciate help on how to implement EMA PCF.
Sorry, Im a long-time worden subscriber, but newbie to programming.
Thanx in advance.

You may wish to try creating something like the following as a Personal Criteria Formula (the MACD Histogram is 12,26,9):

It should return:
+2 Both are Up
-2 Both are Down
Anything in between would indicate contradictory or flat results. The PCF can be used as a Watchlist Column and/or EasyScan Condition. You may wish to review the following:

Thanks, Bruce. Are you saying this formula alone, as a watchlist column, monitors BOTH change in MACD-H and in weekly EMA?

Yes.
Each will equal 1 when up and -1 when down.
It sums both together.
(EMA direction )+(MACD direction)
So the result will be:
+2 when MACD and EMA move up
-2 when MACD and EMA move down
When not +2 or -2 . They are moving in different
directions.
Thanks
