Hi Guys
Could someone point in in the direction of any (similar) example code which allows me to search for equities where the previous days close was above the 50 day moving average, but the current days close is now above the 50 day moving average.
Thanks and regards,
Baz

The best direction in which to be pointed is the MS Users Manual and the free Equis Formula Primer, both of which can be utilised to teach yourself how to write these sorts of simple queries.

Hi Baz
Your question appears to be worded wrongly as it is somewhat ambiguous and seems to be asking for code to find securities where the last two days closing prices were above the 50 day MA. However I suspect that what you really want is to know when the price has crossed above (or below) the 50 day MA. Perhaps you can clarify your request? Knowing the type of MA would probably be helpful too.

Hi Rob,
The 50 MA was just an example I plucked from the air. In essence this is what I an trying to achive:
* Check for stocks price on the previous day was below a given MA (price crossed downwards), and the current price of the stock has now moved above (price crossed above) the MA.
Thanks and regards,
Baz

Hi Baz
Cross(C, Mov(C,50,E));
Take some time to work through the MetaStock Formula Language section of the User Manual - it's worth the effort.
