Preston,
Thank you for the reply! Of the suggestions that you mentioned, I
have experimented with the "cross" function and I have had success
with it using 2 moving averages but I can't seem to figure out how
to utilize "cross" with 3 MA's (probably related to my lack of
knowledge attempting to write Metastock code!). I have attempted to
use "cross" in the original formula that I have posted in my
original message but I keep receiving errors. Any idea of how I
would incorporate "cross" into my original formula?
I have not tried your other 2 suggestions yet. I decided to attempt
to tweak the formula I have been working with since I am receiving
the desired results; just not WHEN the crossover occurs. Any
additional assistance from you is appreciated. Peace!
Charles
