Help with the following set-days-since expression would be much appreciated.

MACD fast line(12,26,9) crossed below MACD slow line(12,26,9) for the 1st time since MACD slow line(12,26,9) crossed above 0 and MACD slow line(12,26,9) above 0.

I have found it difficult in SF to do this type of "pattern" filter.
Is it called the 1,2,3 or ABC pattern?
Basically a downtrend/correction ends and a trend change is
possible because a swing high occured followed by a retracement that does
not take out the previous low? Is this what you are trying to find?

If this is what you are looking for ( I am) maybe others could share similar code.
(This isnt an edge or secret that will go away). I could also put some more
efforts into this idea too. "Four" are you out there?

A perfect example for me would be ISRG and TMF a couple years ago for major trend reversals
and of course everday "good" stocks making HH and HL (or shorts) occur.

This would truly be a filter, not a system, where entries and exits are left to the user.

anyway....maybe this helps.

set{x, days(MACD slow line(12,26,9) crossed above 0 ,20)}
set{y, days(MACD fast line(12,26,9) crossed below MACD slow line(12,26,9),2)}

/*macd crossed above 0 only once in 20 days. Change the number of days to suity your needs*/
count( macd slow line(12,26,9) crossed above 0,20) is between 0 and 2

days(MACD slow line(12,26,9) crossed above 0 ,20) is above
days(MACD fast line(12,26,9) crossed below MACD slow line(12,26,9),1)

/* must have the following statement to ensure fast line and slow line crosseover did indeed occur*/
and days(MACD fast line(12,26,9) crossed below MACD slow line(12,26,9),20) is above -1

and MACD slow line(12,26,9) above 0 and
low 20 day low is above low 20 day low 20 days ago


Y > -1
do not draw y

44 and tks for your reply

am not really looking for the ABC as u mention (FYI see here for more on that subject.)
http://forums.stockfetcher.com/sfforums/?q=view&tid=72713&start=80&isiframe=
but the "impulse wave" of AB only. Check out EL and CSE today with yours above.
Would really like to incorporate a variation of "days since" using Chetron's 'count the days yourself '

This will prevent set limitation restrictions on the whole filter so that basic users can enjoy the filter as its furthercomplied.

thoughts from all are appreciated

tks again rgds
