I would like to create a simple Easy Scan that finds charts with MACD 12,26,9 one or two days before crossing the 0 line on an uptrend, is this possible?

Not sure if there’s a better way to describe this request other than I am looking for something like a Stochastic Crossover but on the 12,26,9 MACD. The cross targeted is “rising.”  If it is also possible, don’t think that it is, to see the MACD one or two days before crossing, would be impressive. Thanks again.

You write a Personal Criteria Formula for the Exponential raw MACD 12,26 crossing up through zero as follows:

XAVGC12 - XAVGC26 > 0 AND XAVGC12.1 - XAVGC26.1 <= 0

You write a Personal Criteria Formula for the Exponential MACD 12,26,9 Signal Line crossing up through zero as follows:

XAVG(XAVGC12,9) - XAVG(XAVGC26,9) > 0 AND XAVG(XAVGC12.1,9) - XAVG(XAVGC26.1,9) <= 0

You write a Personal Criteria Formula for the Exponential MACD 12,26,9 Histogram crossing up through zero as follows:

XAVGC12 - XAVGC26 - XAVG(XAVGC12,9) + XAVG(XAVGC26,9) > 0 AND XAVGC12.1 - XAVGC26.1 - XAVG(XAVGC12.1,9) + XAVG(XAVGC26.1,9) <= 0

You write a Personal Criteria Formula for the Exponential raw MACD 12,26 moving up while below zero as follows:

XAVGC12 - XAVGC26 > XAVGC12.1 - XAVGC26.1 AND XAVGC12 - XAVGC26 < 0

You write a Personal Criteria Formula for the Exponential MACD 12,26,9 Signal Line moving up while below zero as follows:

XAVG(XAVGC12,9) - XAVG(XAVGC26,9) > XAVG(XAVGC12.1,9) - XAVG(XAVGC26.1,9) AND XAVG(XAVGC12,9) - XAVG(XAVGC26,9) < 0

You write a Personal Criteria Formula for the Exponential MACD 12,26,9 Histogram moving up while below zero as follows:

XAVGC12 - XAVGC26 - XAVG(XAVGC12,9) + XAVG(XAVGC26,9) > XAVGC12.1 - XAVGC26.1 - XAVG(XAVGC12.1,9) + XAVG(XAVGC26.1,9) AND XAVGC12 - XAVGC26 - XAVG(XAVGC12,9) + XAVG(XAVGC26,9) < 0

You can write a Personal Criteria Formula for the raw MACD 12,26 crossing up through its 9-Period Exponential Moving Average Signal line while moving up below zero as follows:

XAVGC12 - XAVGC26 - XAVG(XAVGC12,9) + XAVG(XAVGC26,9) > 0 AND XAVGC12.1 - XAVGC26.1 - XAVG(XAVGC12.1,9) + XAVG(XAVGC26.1,9) <= 0 AND XAVGC12 - XAVGC26 > XAVGC12.1 - XAVGC26.1 AND XAVGC12 - XAVGC26 < 0
