 I tried to write this scan myself....I couldn't find a sample to see if this could work..I use this as a basic strategy on trading FOREX on a 5 min chart..and I believe it could work on a daily chart as well for my swing trading.
 
 Long Trend Scan:
 Closed EMA(5) crossed above open EMA(8)
 
 Short Trend Scan:
 Closed EMA (5) crossed below open EMA(8)
 
 Doesn't seem to scan correctly... is it possible to scan for an OPEN EMA 8?
 Ofcourse I have to add the other vol and price filters later...but this is the main premise of the scan.
 
 Thanks in advance!

 try:
 
 
 
 cema custom exponential moving average
 
 when looking for a special function or indicator, check the announcements in the forum or the index. of course reading the SF user's guide would not hurt.
 
 i leave you the second part as an exercise

 Joules360,
 
 Read the Announcements forum first.  Most of the "good stuff" is there.  The manual is a bit out of date...
 
 HTH,
