Hi, Not sure I fully follow what you are looking for. Are you looking for two separate conditions, one for crossing up and one for crossing down, or is this a single condition where both a cross up and a cross down have occurred within 25 days of each other? Also what periods are you using for the AroonUp and AroonDn? The default is 14. A simple exploration looking for two separate criteria (crossing up and crossing down) would look like this: Column A (AroonUp crossing up) Cross(AroonUp(14),AroonDown(14)) Column B (AroonUp crossing down) Cross(AroonDown(14),AroonUp(14))

You can use the Alert function to extend a True condition over # periods. I am not sure that the 25 days is relevant. By default the Explorer scans the current date and can be used to scan a specific date as well. You can also Load Minimum Records or Load a specific # of records. For Aroon Up and Aroon down crossing in the last 2 days you could use the following: Column A: AroonUp Alert(Cross(AroonUp(14),AroonDown(14)),2) Column B: AroonDn Alert(Cross(AroonDown(14),AroonUp(14)),2) Filter: ColA OR ColB

If you are using MetaStock 11 or earlier, you would need to Edit the particular exploration and click the Options button at the bottom. This should take you to a screen where you can choose Most Recent Date, or Specific Date.

Hi, Something like this should be possible, but would need to be able to be defined specifically/mathematically. Are you using price consolidation to a given range as part of your criteria, or is this just an observation of what occurs when the lines are parallel? How would you want to define this parallel movement? Would you look for comparable rate of change values in both lines over a certain period of time? I am not sure where the value of 30 comes in to play, is this just the approximate value that aroon is at when this occurs? Is all of this a pre-condition to the crossover of aroon up/dn?

You should be able to measure parallel movement through "points" rate of changes i.e. ROC(AroonUp(14),1,$) and ROC(AroonDown(14),1,$). Also, how long must the lines be moving parallel? Does the cross have to occur instantly after the parallel movement? There could be a change in direction without the lines actually crossing immediately, so being able to mathematically define all these scenarios is essential to being able to properly build a formula to look for these conditions.

 

All of this should be possible to write, but as with any set of rules we would need your specifications. Because you want the setup condition to be somewhat flexible you would just need to decide how flexible you want to be. If you look at the attached image, you will see identified 4 points at which there is parallel movement followed by a change in direction. In two of the cases, there is no cross. Would you want to be notified of all of these points?
