hi all,
I'm drawing a blank here.

I need to determine when a MA change from downward to upward.

What is the most efficient way to do this?

Just compare the current and last 2 days MAs?

fyi...this is what I have. But, if someone has a better way of doing this, let me know.

Fetcher[market is etf

and ema(50) > ema(50) 1 days ago
and ema(50) 1 days ago < ema(50) 2 days ago

set{ emaUp, count(ema(50) > ema(50) 1 days ago, 1)}
draw emaUp
]

@ sammyn

Your code is perfect.

Once you've got the picks from your filter, the Charting Wealth posts by Mac and graf
may give you a bit more decision support if you need it

Best.

These are 2 possible alternatives to choose from:

The first uses the "add column" phrase to provide data as well as filter the results; while the 2nd is kind of a shortcut one liner to reduce overall filter size

market is etf

add column ema(50) > ema(50) 1 day ago
add column ema(50) 2 days ago > ema(50) 1 day ago

set{ emaUp, count(ema(50) > ema(50) 1 days ago, 1)}
draw emaUp
]
