Spent part of the afternoon googling for articles on the Guppy MMA's. Here are two interesting reads:

Alf,
Here is the formula (From MetaStock) for MMA Osc. It does seem to ressemble the MACD doesn't it? Just glancing at this I think it will require an advanced subscription to implement in SF.
((Mov(CLOSE,3,E)+Mov(CLOSE,5,E)+
Mov(CLOSE,8,E)+Mov(CLOSE,10,E)+
Mov(CLOSE,12,E)+Mov(CLOSE,15,E))-
(Mov(CLOSE,30,E)+Mov(CLOSE,35,E)+
Mov(CLOSE,40,E)+Mov(CLOSE,45,E)+
Mov(CLOSE,50,E)+Mov(CLOSE,60,E)))*10;
(Mov((Mov(CLOSE,3,E)+Mov(CLOSE,5,E)+
Mov(CLOSE,8,E)+Mov(CLOSE,10,E)+
Mov(CLOSE,12,E)+Mov(CLOSE,15,E))-
(Mov(CLOSE,30,E)+Mov(CLOSE,35,E)+
Mov(CLOSE,40,E)+Mov(CLOSE,45,E)+
Mov(CLOSE,50,E)+Mov(CLOSE,60,E)),13,E))*10;
dkatz,
Thank you, and I am glad you are getting use out the the Stockfetcher doc. I try and keep it up to date as much as possible.
I am not sure how one might apply MMA to short term trading. I think it is much more useful for monitoring trends.
maxreturn,
Thanks for the links they were interesting.

...hmmmm...
I'm not a Metastock guy...and although (after a somewhat brief look at the syntax) I can SEE that the Math behind this MMA Oscillator is effectively the DIFFERENCE between the SUMS of the 2 different groups of Moving Averages...which is (as I said earlier) a variation of a MACD...I'm REALLY at a loss as to how to implement it here at SF !
Perhaps some others can offer some help !
Perhaps "tomb"...or others from the SF "think tank" could offer BOTH the MMA Indicator...as well as the MMA Oscillator !
Anyone want to take a shot at this ?
Regards,

yepher -
Thank you for this post. Started playing around with EMA 15,60 crossovers and couldn't believe my own eyes! Then played with EMA 30,60 crossovers and it just got better! I have also been a huge fan of "Rainbow MA's" but this takes it to the next level. Again thank you sir! Also, I also reference your "commands" site @ yepher.com, and am truly grateful for your effort and hard work.
Rick Riggs.

Any of ya'll have the requisite SF knowledge to program a filter that will show stocks that the long term MMA and short term MMA groups are converging?
Trade Mike said this was the ROUGH formula @TeleChart
-------------------------------------------------------
"I made a screen that was a ROUGH approximation of the MMAs converging. This is it for TeleChart:
ABS( AVGC3 - AVGC45) <= 1 -- that's the absolute value of the average of the last 3 closes minus the 45 day average
Somehow I dreamed that up b/c TeleChart didn't let us use EMAs in formulas at the time (it does now so maybe I should update it). But it seems to work OK. For example it found DOV...
But it turned out that I actually liked looking at my other scans and just eyeballing the converging MMAs.
Good luck,
Mike
"------------------------------------------------
Any Ideas?

Here's the conversion of Guppy MMA from the above Metastock formula into SF paradigm:
####1 of 2####
((Mov(CLOSE,3,E)+Mov(CLOSE,5,E)+
Mov(CLOSE,8,E)+Mov(CLOSE,10,E)+
Mov(CLOSE,12,E)+Mov(CLOSE,15,E))-
(Mov(CLOSE,30,E)+Mov(CLOSE,35,E)+
Mov(CLOSE,40,E)+Mov(CLOSE,45,E)+
Mov(CLOSE,50,E)+Mov(CLOSE,60,E)))*10;
--------------------------------------
####2 of 2####
(Mov((Mov(CLOSE,3,E)+Mov(CLOSE,5,E)+
Mov(CLOSE,8,E)+Mov(CLOSE,10,E)+
Mov(CLOSE,12,E)+Mov(CLOSE,15,E))-
(Mov(CLOSE,30,E)+Mov(CLOSE,35,E)+
Mov(CLOSE,40,E)+Mov(CLOSE,45,E)+
Mov(CLOSE,50,E)+Mov(CLOSE,60,E)),13,E))*10;
--------------------------------------
####Trade Mike's ROUGH approximation of the MMAs converging @TeleChart####
ABS( AVGC3 - AVGC45) <= 1
--------------------------------------

I was trying my own variation but it won't work... probably because I'm trying to divide by 'close price' and it's not working
((ABS(EMA(3) - EMA(45))/close) <= .03
That filter doesn't work even if I type in 1 there... i'm trying to make it look for a percentage and not just a hard number... how do I get close to work?
