Hi guys

I did a search for MACD Pcfs and found some useful stuff, but could someone create pcfs for the following for me please.

1. Personal Criteria Formula for the Exponential MACD 12,26,9 Signal Line crossing DOWN through zero.

2. Personal Criteria Formula for the Exponential MACD 12,26,9 Signal Line moving DOWN while below zero.

3. Personal Criteria Formula for the raw MACD 12,26 crossing DOWN through its 9-Period Exponential Moving Average Signal line while moving DOWN below zero as follows:

Thanks for your help guys

Hi Bruce

thanks for that,  much appreciated, one last item, instead of creating three separete pcfs and then three separete scans for the above, is it possible  to combine the above threes pcfs into one to create one scan that give me all the stocks, if so how do i do that please.

Thanks
jay

Assuming that you want a list that contains any stock that returned True for any of the Personal Criteria Formulas, you could put them in parentheses and connect them with ORs:

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