I am trying to use a simple pcf of c<avgc10 to include stocks which have closed below the 10 moving average. when I test it on mpg, which according to my chart closed above the 10 day, it returns a result of true. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help.

When was your most recent update? My data and PCFs are both updated through 09/27/2006 Market Close and show a close for MPG of 39.24. This is below both the 10-Period Simple Moving Average (40.36) and the 10-Period Exponential Moving Average (40.05). Are your charts in daily mode?

I am showing MPG as below its simple (and exponential) moving average.

Your PCF is for the close being below its simple moving average.

Please go through this checklist to see why your charts are not confirming this:
