wrong results with simple moving average rebound screener

  Hi,
  I have been using this very simple screener for a while to look for stocks in uptrend rebounding on the 50 days moving average. It was actually working until I started to obtain also values below the moving average as in the file attached. Cannot find on what I am wrong.
  This is the screener code

  a=Average[50] c1= summation[30](close>a)=30 c2=low<a screener [c1 and c2]

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7

  a=Average[50]   c1= summation[30](close>a)=30   c2=low<a   screener [c1 and c2]

  and attached you see the file with one of the stocks I get: there are also a few closes below the 50 day moving average when I put the condition of the last 50 closes being above it.

  thank you

  This is odd, your code should work correctly. On the NASQAQ stocks list, I do not get any result right now, do you still have that problem this morning?

  Do you have live subscription to NASDAQ Stocks list? Still don’t have any results in my screener window today for this code. Do you?

  About this issue, I heard that it was a problem in Daily timeframe only and it has now been fixed, do you agree?

  Hi,

  I see this is an old post but I think I’m seeing a similar issue in that ProScreener returns different values of EMA than what is actually on the chart.

  Doing some tests I see that ProScreener thinks the EMA200 is ~1.5% lower than what it actually is.

  Did you resolve your issue and does this sound anything like the same thing?

   

  Thanks.

  Your problem is not related, a 200 periods EMA needs more than 254 bars to calculate, which is the history limit of ProScreener, therefore the value may differ. I suggest you use an arithmetic moving average instead, SMA200 is ok.
