Can anyone help with a syntax for this screen?
2 closes above the 5 day simple moving average
The closes have to be one after the other
The closes are the first two closes above the MA
The closes can be up, down, higher or lower compared to each other
Thanks

Wow and thanks!
Stock Fetcher is a detailed program, but well worth the effort in learning all of it and ultimately making anyone a better trader.
I played with this filter again and came up with:
"Show stocks where the close has been above the ma(5) for the last 2 days and the close was below the ma(5) 3 days ago"
Any comments?

Nice question Jay and Rump you did another nice job on another of the many filters you have created here in this Forum.
I backtested this against my specific "backtest" criteria and it scored 86% wins, an ROI of 68%. Also, in a 78 day backtest it gave me almost $19,000 profit. You divide that by 78 trading days and thats a little over $1,500 each trading day. I use $100,000 as my bulk investment to begin with and $10,000 each trade. I only run have 10 stocks at any one time open.
Nce work to both of you.
