Hi All Although new to Metastock, I've read through the programming language and don't seem to be getting the moving average programming right. What I'm trying to do is compare the current day's close moving average (30-day) to the previous day's close moving average (30-day). The theory being, you buy when the 30-day MA today is higher than the 30-day MA of yesterday. My current formula is: mov(close,30,exponential)>prev This doesn't seem to give the right signals, in fact it generates buy signals when the MA is lower than previous. Any ideas on how to correctly program this? Many thanks! :D

mov(close,30,exponential)>ref(mov(close,30,exponential),-1)

Work through the Equis Formula Primer to learn about how to use variables to stop doing the same computations more than once, using other functions such as ROC() to achieve this goal, and many, many other useful programming techniques.
