How can I write an Exploration that tells me on a daily basis whether a 5 period simple moving average crosses a 20 period simple moving average to the upside or downside. Thanks

hey trevor.... on something like you can almost sound it out so to speak...... once you get a handle on where the commas and )'s go its easy to see....... also its best not to use the 'cola' or 'colb' filter.... not doing so gives you the past history or at least as long as you'e explored for......by clicking on each security you can see the past days and whether there was a up or down cross indicated by the 1.....h Exploration notes Col A: up
Cross(Mov(C,5,S),Mov(C,20,S));
Col B: down
Cross(Mov(C,20,S),Mov(C,5,S));
Filter enabled Yes Periodicity Daily Records required 1000

Trevor and waj,

Welcome to the Forum...

I think both of you will benefit greatly by reading the MS Users Manual and attempting all the exercises in the free Equis Formula Primer (from the downloads section). Both of these will give you the knowledge and knowhow to build your own indicators, experts, explorations and systems; simple ones like expressed in this thread, and with some time and practice you will be able to code more complex ideas.
