Hello -
I was trying to create a seemingly basic scan that looks for stocks in which price is moving above the 200-day moving average for the first time in X days, but I don't think the one that I have created is working and I'm not sure what needs to be changed.
Here is the syntax I was using:
Price crossed above ma(200) 1 day ago and had been below ma(200) for the last 50 days
and average volume(30) is greater than 200000
and close is above 2
and atr(30) is greater than 0.30
Any ideas on what needs to be changed?
Thank you very much for your time.

Hmm... my results from yesterday's action have 16 results using that criteria.
For the sake of simplicity I will just address the first result, which was ULTI.
The scan criteria (or at least what I am trying to find) doesn't match with ULTI's price chart at all. ULTI has basically been above its 200-day since late March and is simply retesting now.
Also, another thing that I noticed (and don't understand) is when I changed the criteria from ma(200) to ema(200) no results showed up, even after changing the X portion (# of days) multiple times.
