Hi,

I need help on PCF for the following:

Today's MACD (12,26) is equal or larger than its Exponential Moving Average (9) 

both are on a daily closing price basis.

 

Thanks in advance!

Please try the following:

XAVGC12 - XAVGC26 > XAVG(XAVGC12,9) - XAVG(XAVGC26,9)

I am trying to write a simple PCF but am not sure I'm getteing the right results

Standard MACD today is below 0 line. Cross over above exponential 9 is happening today. Is this correct?

(XAVGC12-XAVGC26)<0
and
(XAVGC12 - XAVGC26 >= XAVG(XAVGC12,9) - XAVG(XAVGC26,9))
and
(XAVGC12.1 - XAVGC26.1 < XAVG(XAVGC12.1,9.1) - XAVG(XAVGC26.1,9.1))

Thanks for your help!

You don't want or need the 9.1s in the formula. the bars ago parameter is handled in the XAVGC portion of the XAVG() function.

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