    All I need is a simple code to screen for when the price crosses the 200 day moving average – either bullish or bearish. I haven’t a clue.

    Try this one:

    x = 0
Avg200 = Average[200](close)
IF (close CROSSES OVER Avg200) OR (close CROSSES UNDER Avg200) THEN
   x = 1
ENDIF
SCREENER [x] (x AS "criterium")

    Thanks Roberto.  I added a volume screen to it. Not sure it’s the right one but it’s a start. Looking for breakouts bullish or bearish from just above the 100 day moving average or 200 day. Preferably when these moving averages are “flat” against the price on the charts.

    x = 0
    Avg100 = Average[100](close)
    IF (close CROSSES OVER Avg100) OR (close CROSSES UNDER Avg100) THEN
    x = 1
    ENDIF
    SCREENER [x] (x AS “criterium”)
    v = volume

    count = 0
    for i = 1 to 75 do
    if v>volume[i] then
    count=count+1
    endif
    next

    condition = count/75>0.9

    screener [condition] (count/75 as “percentage”)

    You cannot use the keyword SCREENEDR more than once, so you have to combune your condition to make only one screener and, unfortunately, you can only use one sortinfg criterium:

    x = 0
Avg100 = Average[100](close)
IF (close CROSSES OVER Avg100) OR (close CROSSES UNDER Avg100) THEN
   x = 1
ENDIF
v = volume
count = 0
for i = 1 to 75 do
   if v>volume[i] then
      count=count+1
   endif
next
condition = count/75>0.9
//SCREENER [x] (x AS “criterium”)
screener [x AND condition] (count/75 as “percentage”)  //you may use OR, instead but only x OR condition as criterium
