Moving Average Crossover Coding Help

David R Pierce · 2016-08-14T21:35:07+00:00

Hi all, I’ve joined this site today, and I’ve been using ProRealTime for around 2 months. I’ve realised that I need to learn about coding. As part of the ProScreener I’ve built for the system I use, I ask it to display shares where the 6-day Moving Average is higher than the 21-day Moving Average (or below if I’m going short). I would like it to display shares where the 6 day Moving Average has crossed the 21-day Moving Average within the previous 5 bars (on a daily chart) ProScreener is limited to displaying only 50 matches, and I would like to ensure the ones displayed are something I can use to make trading decisions. The only options on the Moving Average crossover finder on ProScreener, can only display crossovers that have happened this current day, or the previous day. But because I have a browse for new positions only once a week, I would like it to display all crossovers that have occurred only during the previous week. Any help would be very much appreciated. Many thanks, David.

Hi,

These 3 recent short topics from the “proscreener support” forum section and the “proorder support” section would probably help:
