Hi guys! Please help me fine tune the following filter: -

I'm trying to track stocks which crossed MA10 a couple of days ago; also
MA(10) is about to cross MA(20) from below.
I've noticed that this kind of swing trade can be give good returns in the short term.

This is as far as I got:-
- price crossed MA(10) from below within the last 3 days
- price is above MA(10)
- price is below MA(20)
- slope of MA(20) is approaching slope of MA(10)
- average volume(200) is above 500000

Any suggestions ?
Thanks

Fetcher[
set{x,count(ma(10) crossed above ma(20),3)}
x > 0
and volume > 500000
and draw ma(10) and draw ma(20)]

MAY ALL YOUR FILLS BE COMPLETE.

The filter is not exactly what you asked for but you can tweak it.

rsdivekar,

Please correct me if I'm wrong (as I well may be :-}), but the conditions listed do not cover the stated objective of "MA(10) is about to cross MA(20) from below". If I understand your post, the condition "slope of MA(20) is approaching slope of MA(10)" will NOT detect a crossover. Let me explain: As MA(20) trends up, the slope is positive. As it trends down, it's negative. As it transitions between the two, it becomes a horizontal flat line, with a slope of zero. So, as a possibly extreme example, MA(20) may be around 30, trending up but flattening (approaching zero slope). MA(10), on the other hand, may be around 10, sloping down but flattening (approaching zero slope). This case - at least in theory - would match the "slope of MA(20) is approaching slope of MA(10)" condition.

You may want to use

Fetcher[
set{ratio,MA(10) / MA(20)}
ratio is between 0.95 and 1
and slope of MA(10) is greater than 0
]



instead.

HTH,

C
