 What would be the PCF for the raw MACD (12,26,9) to be between -0.5 and 0.5 and where the MACD lines have crossed at any time during the past 3 days or are now equal?

 Please try the following:

ABS(XAVGC12 - XAVGC26) <= .5 AND (SGN(XAVGC12 - XAVGC26 - XAVG(XAVGC12,9) + XAVG(XAVGC26,9)) <>  SGN(XAVGC12.1 - XAVGC26.1 - XAVG(XAVGC12.1,9) + XAVG(XAVGC26.1,9)) OR SGN(XAVGC12.1 - XAVGC26.1 - XAVG(XAVGC12.1,9) + XAVG(XAVGC26.1,9)) <>  SGN(XAVGC12.2 - XAVGC26.2 - XAVG(XAVGC12.2,9) + XAVG(XAVGC26.2,9)) OR SGN(XAVGC12.2 - XAVGC26.2 - XAVG(XAVGC12.2,9) + XAVG(XAVGC26.2,9)) <>  SGN(XAVGC12.3 - XAVGC26.3 - XAVG(XAVGC12.3,9) + XAVG(XAVGC26.3,9)) OR XAVGC12 - XAVGC26 = XAVG(XAVGC12,9) - XAVG(XAVGC26,9))

 Hi Bruce,

Thank you for the formula. 

What would be the PCF for the raw MACD (12,26,9) to be between -0.5 and 0.5 and where the MACD lines have crossed today?
