20-day SMA scan

[haha54]

Good someone, please tell me what the code would be if I wanted to run a scan that would find horses that are within 5% of the 20-day SMA on the daily chart.
Thanks

Try this

def sma   = SimpleMovingAvg(close(period = AggregationPeriod.DAY), 20);
plot scan = Between(close, sma * .95, sma * 1.05);

Try this

Thanks, Ruby it worked great! It could create some nice buying opportunities using the 20 sma as the buy point with a stop loss just below the 20-day.

One more question. I wanted to try changing the code from 20-day SMA to 20 Exponential moving average. I deleted Simple Moving Average and put in Exponential Moving Average but it did not work. Could you please tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks

This is syntax for one way to do it

def ma   = expAverage(close(period = AggregationPeriod.DAY), 20);
plot scan = Between(close, ma * .95, ma * 1.05);

Thanks again I really do appreciate your help.

i tend to use MovingAverage() when i need an average. it has an input parameter for the type of average, so a user can change it in the settings window.

input avg1_type = AverageType.SIMPLE;
input avg1_price = close;
input avg1_len = 9;
def ma1 = MovingAverage(avg1_type, avg1_price, avg1_len);

Thanks for the information!
