hi Big,

Not sure exactly what u want but here it its:

llv(macd(),5)<-0.5

if this is not what u have asked for then please be more precise and i will try to help. I strongly recommend u to read metastock help and formula primer because in there u will find all answers to such basic questions and much more if ur imagination allows.

Also, welcome to the forum, u should try traders consortium forum as well. http://tradersconsortium.com

Cheers

hey chan..... you can use alert and cross ..... Alert(Cross(-.5, MACD()) , 5) ..... a very breif example is below ..... included a similar scan for stoch(5,3) but for past 9 days as comparison.....

v10 will excell in explorations such as this due to its additional columns..... h

Exploration notes

Col A: macd >

{macd closing above .5 within past 5 days}

Alert(Cross(MACD(), .5),5)

Col B: macd <

{macd closing below -.5 within past 5 days}

Alert(Cross(-.5, MACD()),5)

Col C: stoch >

{stoch closing above 80 within past 9 days}

Alert(Cross(Stoch(5,3), 80),9)

Col D: stoch <

{stoch closing below 10 within past 9 days}

Alert(Cross(10,Stoch(5,3)),9)

hey chan..... column b above should do it... the only adjustments needed would be the lower than value and now apparently the lookback days...... if you included an extra column for just the "macd() you could verify macd value...... h

-----------------------------------

Col B: macd <

{macd closing below -.5 within past 5 days}

Alert(Cross( -.5, MACD()), 5 )

-------------------------------------

or macd closing below -.7 during the last 10 days...

---------------------------------------------------

Col c: macd <

{macd closing below -.7 within past 10 days}

Alert(Cross( -.7, MACD()),10)

-------------------------------------------------

Col d: macd <

{macd closing below -.3 within past 9 days}

Alert(Cross( -.3, MACD()),9)

--------------------------------------

col e: macd

macd()
