What math would I employ to figure a confluence of 3 moving averages, say ma(5)
ma(13) and ma(34). It does not really matter what 3 ma's. What I am interested in is when all the stars align say within as close a percentage as possible. I tried substracting all 3 in hopes of getting a zero result or as close to zero as possible. Is there a better way?

Thanks

You could try something like this:
and average volume(30) is above 150000
and close is above 15
and the 30 day slope of the close is above 0
and EMA(3) crossed above EMA(7)
and EMA(7) crossed above EMA(14)
set{diff3n14,EMA(3)-EMA(14)}
and Draw RSI(2)line at 5
and draw diff3n14 line at 0
and draw linear regression line(60)
and add column diff3n14
and Add column EMA(3)
and Add column EMA(7)
and Add column EMA(14)
and Add column RSI(2)
and Chart-time is three month

PCTDIFF is the maximum amount the MAs can differ - default is 1% of the closing price.

DIFF1, DIFF2 and DIFF3 is the absolute value of the close minus the moving averages.

M1X, M2X, M3X are the days since the moving averages crossed.

HTH.

Rather than using a percentage, you can just specify a fixed amount.

HTH.

It is as follows:

Fetcher[set{sub1, ma(5) + ma(13)}
set{sub2, ma(34) + sub1}
set{subt, sub2 / 3}
set{m5, ma(5) / subt}
set{m13, ma(13) / subt}
set{m34, ma(34) / subt}

high reached a new 52 week high in the last 1 day
close between 5 and 12
volume > 500000

draw m5 on plot m13
draw m34 on plot m13
draw macd
draw rsi(2) on plot rsi(5)

add column m5
add column m13
add column m34
draw ma(5)
draw ma(13)
draw ma(34)
]



Thanks for your input.

Your version is a lot different from what you asked for... unless I didn't understand the request.

Makes a difference when you know what you want to do. I had no clue
of where I wanted to start or end up. The idea is similiar to the on in the book The Art of Low Risk Investing by Michael G. Zahorchak. Not necessarily the same averages. The idea remains the same where the 3 averages converge and the buy is between the upper and lower averages. Supposedly a safer trade. Hence the reason for your expertice.

Thanks again.
