Compression / Expansion of MAs

  Hello,

  I’d like to screen securities for which MAs, for example Exponential MA 5/8/13/21/34/50, compress then expand like on the attached screenshot (SP500 TF M15). I tried to calculate the difference between MAs and put a condition if the difference is <= to a certain fixed value say (5) for example but it misses many occurrences or generates many false signals.

  Can someone please come with a solution where the delta is relative without being too big? may be using std or atr or ste or other function or may be should introduce a loop?

  Thanks

  I tried the code below but it either show too many occurrences (false signals) or misses signals

  Compression/Expansion EMAs

  c1 = EMA5 = average[5,MAType](close) EMA8 = average[8,MAType](close) EMA13 = average[13,MAType](close) EMA21 = average[21,MAType](close) EMA34 = average[34,MAType](close) EMA50 = average[50,MAType](close) Threshhold1 = 5 if abs(EMA5-EMA8) <= Threshhold1 and abs(EMA8-EMA13) <= Threshhold1 and abs(EMA13-EMA21) <= Threshhold1 and abs(EMA21-EMA34) <= Threshhold1 and abs(EMA34-EMA50) <= Threshhold1 and abs(EMA50-EMA100) <= Threshhold1 and abs(EMA100-EMA200) <= Threshhold1 then DRAWPOINT(barindex, close-10, 5)coloured("cyan") c1 = 1 endif screener[c1](RSI[14])

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

  c1 =   EMA5 = average[5,MAType](close) EMA8 = average[8,MAType](close) EMA13 = average[13,MAType](close) EMA21 = average[21,MAType](close) EMA34 = average[34,MAType](close) EMA50 = average[50,MAType](close) Threshhold1 = 5   if abs(EMA5-EMA8) <= Threshhold1 and abs(EMA8-EMA13) <= Threshhold1 and abs(EMA13-EMA21) <= Threshhold1 and abs(EMA21-EMA34) <= Threshhold1 and abs(EMA34-EMA50) <= Threshhold1 and abs(EMA50-EMA100) <= Threshhold1 and abs(EMA100-EMA200) <= Threshhold1 then DRAWPOINT(barindex, close-10, 5)coloured("cyan") c1 = 1 endif   screener[c1](RSI[14])

  There you go:

  MAType = 1 EMA5 = average[5,MAType](close) EMA8 = average[8,MAType](close) EMA13 = average[13,MAType](close) EMA21 = average[21,MAType](close) EMA34 = average[34,MAType](close) EMA50 = average[50,MAType](close) Treshold1 = 5 * PipSize MaxEma = max(Ema5,max(Ema8,max(Ema13,max(Ema21,max(Ema34,Ema50))))) MinEma = min(Ema5,min(Ema8,min(Ema13,min(Ema21,min(Ema34,Ema50))))) c1 = (MaxEma - MinEma) <= Treshold1 screener[c1](((MaxEma - MinEma) / PipSize) AS "Gap")//(RSI[14]) //screener[c1](RSI[14]

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17

  MAType = 1 EMA5  = average[5,MAType](close) EMA8  = average[8,MAType](close) EMA13 = average[13,MAType](close) EMA21 = average[21,MAType](close) EMA34 = average[34,MAType](close) EMA50 = average[50,MAType](close) Treshold1 = 5 * PipSize     MaxEma = max(Ema5,max(Ema8,max(Ema13,max(Ema21,max(Ema34,Ema50))))) MinEma = min(Ema5,min(Ema8,min(Ema13,min(Ema21,min(Ema34,Ema50)))))   c1     = (MaxEma - MinEma) <= Treshold1   screener[c1](((MaxEma - MinEma) / PipSize) AS "Gap")//(RSI[14]) //screener[c1](RSI[14]

  This is an indicator to show the GAP bwtween them:

  MAType = 1 EMA5 = average[5,MAType](close) EMA8 = average[8,MAType](close) EMA13 = average[13,MAType](close) EMA21 = average[21,MAType](close) EMA34 = average[34,MAType](close) EMA50 = average[50,MAType](close) Treshold1 = 5 * PipSize MaxEma = max(Ema5,max(Ema8,max(Ema13,max(Ema21,max(Ema34,Ema50))))) MinEma = min(Ema5,min(Ema8,min(Ema13,min(Ema21,min(Ema34,Ema50))))) Gap = (MaxEma - MinEma) <= Treshold1 RETURN Gap AS "Minimum Gap"

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

  MAType = 1 EMA5  = average[5,MAType](close) EMA8  = average[8,MAType](close) EMA13 = average[13,MAType](close) EMA21 = average[21,MAType](close) EMA34 = average[34,MAType](close) EMA50 = average[50,MAType](close) Treshold1 = 5 * PipSize   MaxEma = max(Ema5,max(Ema8,max(Ema13,max(Ema21,max(Ema34,Ema50))))) MinEma = min(Ema5,min(Ema8,min(Ema13,min(Ema21,min(Ema34,Ema50)))))   Gap    = (MaxEma - MinEma) <= Treshold1   RETURN Gap AS "Minimum Gap"

  And this one is the indicator I used to plot the averages:

  MAType = 1 EMA5 = average[5,MAType](close) EMA8 = average[8,MAType](close) EMA13 = average[13,MAType](close) EMA21 = average[21,MAType](close) EMA34 = average[34,MAType](close) EMA50 = average[50,MAType](close) RETURN Ema5 AS "Ema5",Ema8 AS "Ema8",Ema13 AS "Ema13",Ema21 AS"Ema21", Ema34 AS "Ema34",Ema50 AS "Ema50"

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

  MAType = 1 EMA5  = average[5,MAType](close) EMA8  = average[8,MAType](close) EMA13 = average[13,MAType](close) EMA21 = average[21,MAType](close) EMA34 = average[34,MAType](close) EMA50 = average[50,MAType](close)   RETURN Ema5 AS "Ema5",Ema8 AS "Ema8",Ema13 AS "Ema13",Ema21 AS"Ema21", Ema34 AS "Ema34",Ema50 AS "Ema50"
