Scan for stocks with consecutive close above SMA

[Miket]

How would you go about scanning for stocks in TOS that have had 7 consecutive closes above their 5 sma?

@Miket Here's your scan for 7 consecutive closes above SMA (5)
Just place this in the scanner directly

sum(close > Average(close,5), 7) >= 7

@tomsk Thank you

Same. She's amazing. So much good stuff buried in some of her obscure YouTube lectures.

Damn, just seeing this and looks like I missed it. Hopefully she releases a recording. Thanks for the heads up.

My question is how do I run a scan in TOS where I can find stocks that closed above the 20 SMA for 3 days in a row?
Thanks for any help.

Place this code directly into the scanner, it does precisely what you are looking for - at least 3 consecutive closes above SMA(20). Make sure you use the daily aggregation

sum(close > Average(close,20), 3) >= 3

@BenTen Good of you to move this here, sure seems like lots of work (from a moderator's point of view)

@tomsk Thank you so much it worked great. I ran another scan by changing to 20 to 5 and got a lot of interesting possibilities for the next trading day.

this is just what I was looking for and I have been trying to add input variables for
the number of days and average value can you give some guidance to that? Thank You

@BenTen
I was trying this regarding the code in this thread but my if seems to be wrong

def nDays = Integer();
def AvgDays = Integer();
def ConsDays = Boolean();
input AvgDays =5;
input nDays =7;

if sum(close > Average(close,5), nDays) >= NDays
then ConsDays.true
else ConsDay.False
