I'm brand new to TC 2000. Wow, it's great! I'm trying to find a way to scan or make a PCF that finds stocks or ETFs where the MACD (12, 26, 9) is crossing above the EMA (9) ONLY when the cross occurs below the zero line. Thanks!

The general way to do this would be to click on the MACD and select Create Scan Condition to create a Condition for the MACD being below zero and do so again to create a Condition for MACD crossing up through its moving average.

Create Conditions from Your Chart

You can then add both Conditions to the same EasyScan as EasyScan Conditions.

Building a Scan with Multiple Conditions

It is also possible to create a Condition Formula for this. Assuming it is an Exponential MACD, the formula would be:

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