Hi, I need help please. I don't know how to write a scan where the 8 ema is sloping up or down at a 45 degree angle? If someone could help me I wuld really appreciate it. I'd like to buy stocks in an uptrend on a pullback to the 8ema. If possible the same for the reverse in a downtrend. Thanks very much.

Can someone write the code that looks for this 45 degree angle just when it was beginning to start. Sure would like to have had this at the start of this bear market. So the statement would say happened within the last 5 days this X moving average went into a 45 degree angle either up or down.... is this possible?

Hi Dwiggains, I'm trying to scan for stocks now with 2 ema's sloping up....how do I modify the one you made so I can filter for both 8 and 15 ema's to be sloping up or down, so I can buy pullbacks to the 8? I tried but I can't get them to filter both sloping up...thanks for your help. Have a nice day.

close > 1 and volume > 200,000 and add column slope of ema (8) and sort column 5 descending
ema(8) increasing last 2 days
ema(15) increasing last 2 days
should be able to change number of days increasing to what you wish, or the ema to what you want

Nice one Rump. I did revise it to show the downward trend. Plus, I added another line that created a trigger. My backtest showed 96% Wins and ROI = 108%. Very nice results. I can call this my Bear or Bull Market Mini Rally. You can use it either way, for the UP or DOWN Trends. It pops nicely for X amount of days giving one the opportunity to play the Day or Short Term Trading format. Thanks again.

Thanks so much Gpatte and Tro...filter looks superb. I can hardly wait to try it. I will keep you posted on how it's working. Marine2, would you please share that line you added... as the trigger, I know it would really help me to make a better entry, and if that line is holding to know if I should stay in it till the next day.
Thanks again for your help. I really appreciate it.
