Thierry, one problem I see with this scan is the use of the cross 
function for BOTH un and deux. It would be a remarkable coincidence 
for un and deux to cross on the same day...

I revised deux to macd() > signal(); This doubled the % profit on 
the stock list I tested. It retains the remarkably high 87% hit rate.

A similar revision would need to be made to the sell condition. 
Asking rsi and ma of close to cross on the same day is a poor exit 
condition that does not come close to ensuring the trade is exited.

Hope this helps,
Trader
