Thanks in advance for any help, it's been years since last coding something using thinkscript.

I am looking to scan for 2 moving averages that are close together for X number of previous candles.

ie
20sma and 200sma are within .05% of each other for the previous 20 candles.

Thanks again,

Scott
 
Is there a way to scan for 3 moving averages coiled tight together, doesnt matter if they are stack high to low or low to high, or mixed up together, I would like them to be very close to each other and as far as a percentage amount away the closer the better, I just want to be able to scan for a 10 SMA, 20 SMA and 50 SMA all coiled up together! ill decide after looking at state of the chart if its a buy sell or leave it alone!
I would also like to turn that scan into a strategy, hoping to use this with MACD and volume to set my orders with these conditions!

Thank for any suggestions or help!
