Candle drops below 21 SMA with in 9 bars and crosses above 21 SMA and crosses above 8 SMA

Long story short, is there a script that can find "at the 'moment'" the 20sma crosses over the 50sma.... AS the 50 is crossing over the 200sma ?

 

[MerryDay]

@Ronathan Edwards You will find many scripts in these 12 pages that scan for 2 or more crosses.
Adjust the lengths to whatever you want.

I want a study to show when either close[0] crosses 50MA OR close[0] crosses 100MA OR close[0] crosses BOTH 50MA and 100MA. close[1] should be less than both the 50MA and the 100MA.

Can anybody make these conditions into a code? I would really appreciate it!

@joetimismith check this out and see if it helps.

Anyone know how to change it to 9 EMA crosses 20 SMA? can you have two averages in a code?

 

[MerryDay]

@dmillz I moved your question here because there are 12 pages of crossing moving averages. Sure to have something that fits your needs.

Yes, it is possible, take a look at the code I posed in https://usethinkscript.com/threads/custom-moving-average-for-thinkorswim.8269/

While it is not exactly what you are looking, that code has the ability to show 5 different MA lengths and you can select Simple/Exp/Weighted/Wilder/HULL. It's not per MA length but for all of that. But it should give you an idea of what you need to change for your strategy.

This is just a simple indicator for moving average crossover but added scanner, cloud, and alerts for additional visual effect and enhancement.

For example, if 5/10 EMA crossover is your strategy, then this indicator plot an up arrow on the golden cross and down arrow on the death cross. You can also use the scanner to scan for stocks with EMA crossover and the built-in alerts to let you know as it happens.

Is there a way to put in a watchlist to show when a stock closed on the 8 EMA on the 5 min chart?

 

[MerryDay]

@brw71585 I moved your post to this thread. You will find 13 pages of how to chart, scan and watchlist your EMA crossover.

Hi everyone!!

I would like to display a Text above the bar that has the highest value in a range of bars, there are between SMA20 cross above of SMA50 and SMA20 cross down of SMA50. How can do that?

I have study the "AddchartBubble" or "AddLabel", but these can not let me do that.

I appreciate if you can help me.

Thanks!!

AddchartBubble is the only format ToS provides to place text in a chart.

I want to be notified when 15 and 50 EMA's cross the 200 EMA, not when a candle crosses and EMA. Please check out this screen shot, it's the areas I circled in red. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h5uMiTzxcExb4oIKzWj7c6IGrrVKicO-YjUV0QJj9Bw/edit?usp=sharing

def ema200 = ExpAverage(close, 200);
def ema50 = ExpAverage(close, 50);
def ema15 = ExpAverage(close, 15);
plot scan = ema15 crosses above ema200 and ema50 cross above ema200 ;

FYI, Having a scan alert when ema15 and ema50 cross at the exact same point this scan will have limited results.

Is there a way to make a moving average change color when price crosses above it? Similar to the standard "UpSignal" with arrows that are built into the standard EMA, but instead of arrows, I just want the line itself to change colors.

The function to change the moving average plot line is AssignValueColor.
Without a script. No other assistance is possible.

Hi, How to scan for a stock 9EMA crosses over 21EMA, with the condition of current price is above 50EMA and 200EMA.
Please can somebody help me?

def ema21 = ExpAverage(close, 21);
def ema9 = ExpAverage(close, 9);
plot scan = ema9 crosses above ema21 and close > ema200 and close > ema50  ;
