Moving average cross with MACD

  Hi,

  Please help me with a screener

  1.Price moving average 20 cross e.g. over
  2. Refer to attached code. I need a condition where the moving average cross takes place under conditions/ during the times where e.g. the zerolagMACD is currently/must be trading over signalMACD and vice versa, at the time of the moving average cross (note: not referring to the point where both need to cross at the same time).
  3. trading range macd e.g 0 to 0.1

  Regards,
  Segie

  Please see attached.

  When 20ma cross takes place it must correspond with the appropriate color of the MACD.

  E.g Whith Bull MA cross then MACD must also be in the ‘blue’. zerolagMACD currently trading over signalMACD

  If there’s a bull MA cross but MACD in the ‘red’ then shouldn’t be part if the screened items. i,e zerolagMACD currently trading under signalMACD

  Both must align.

  Hi! I think instead using flags you should just code macd>signal.

  // — settings short = 12 long = 26 signal = 9 EMAshort1 = exponentialaverage[short](close) EMAshort2 = exponentialaverage[short](EMAshort1) DifferenceShort = EMAshort1 - EMAshort2 ZeroLagShort = EMAshort1 + DifferenceShort EMAlong1 = exponentialaverage[long](close) EMAlong2 = exponentialaverage[long](EMAlong1) DifferenceLong = EMAlong1 - EMAlong2 ZeroLagLong = EMAlong1 + DifferenceLong ZeroLagMACD = ZeroLagShort - ZeroLagLong signal1=ExponentialAverage[signal](ZEROLAGMACD) signal2=ExponentialAverage[signal](signal1) DIFFERENCE2=signal1-signal2 SignalMACD=signal1+DIFFERENCE2 screener[close crosses over average[20](close) and zerolagMACD>signalMACD and (zerolagMACD>0 and zerolagMACD<0.1)]

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23

  // — settings short = 12 long = 26 signal = 9   EMAshort1 = exponentialaverage[short](close) EMAshort2 = exponentialaverage[short](EMAshort1) DifferenceShort = EMAshort1 - EMAshort2 ZeroLagShort = EMAshort1 + DifferenceShort   EMAlong1 = exponentialaverage[long](close) EMAlong2 = exponentialaverage[long](EMAlong1) DifferenceLong = EMAlong1 - EMAlong2 ZeroLagLong = EMAlong1 + DifferenceLong   ZeroLagMACD = ZeroLagShort - ZeroLagLong   signal1=ExponentialAverage[signal](ZEROLAGMACD) signal2=ExponentialAverage[signal](signal1) DIFFERENCE2=signal1-signal2 SignalMACD=signal1+DIFFERENCE2   screener[close crosses over average[20](close) and zerolagMACD>signalMACD and (zerolagMACD>0 and zerolagMACD<0.1)]
