    I was wondering how you would write a simple screener to find stocks that are crossing the 20 simple moving average from below with an average(last 50 days) daily volume of over 200k shares per day.

    There you go:

    Timeframe(Daily)
MyVol = average[50,0](volume) >200000
Timeframe(default)
Sma20 = close CROSSES OVER average[20,0](close)
Cond = MyVol AND Sma20
Screener[Cond]

    That’s awesome Roberto, thank you! I was wondering can you set the date to check for example April 1st 2021 the stocks moving above the 20 day moving average?

    Yes, but since ProScreener scans markets live, we have to check some days ago, from now up to April 21st. I used 30 to make sure it’s enough.

    There you go:

    Timeframe(Daily)
MyVol = average[50,0](volume) >200000
Timeframe(default)
Sma20 = 0
IF Date = 20210421 THEN
   Sma20 = close CROSSES OVER average[20,0](close)
endif
Cond  = summation[30](MyVol AND Sma20)       //scan within the last 30 bars

    Thank you again for the quick reply. Just wondering how far back can I go? If I wanted to see one year ago from Friday if I change the 30 to 370 and in the if statement I changed the date to 20200421 would it work? Sorry to keep bothering you.

    ProScreener has a 254-bar limit (less 5o required by the average makes it a 204-bar lookback).
