scan for stocks whose price is X% within MA

February 28th, 2020, 05:28 PM

Great thread and almost the same I was searching. If anyone can help ( I would greatly appreciate), I'm looking for the the scan where ( 8,21,34,55,89) exponential moving avg are stacking up on each other, like they are in very tight range. Take current example of ticker "LK" on 78 minute chart, all my moving avgs are in very tight range. I attached picture, all yellow lines are exponential moving avg on 78 min chart. I tried many things but sadly It didn't work. If any one can please guide me, that would be really helpful.

here you go same... the code for the MA's you requested are "stacked" in the following code.... for "very tight range" you will probably have to look at the results 1 by 1 to your liking unless you can define "very tight range" in terms of parameters.

Code

MovAvgExponential("length" = 8)."AvgExp" is greater than or equal to MovAvgExponential("length" = 21)."AvgExp"
and
MovAvgExponential("length" = 21)."AvgExp" is greater than or equal to MovAvgExponential("length" = 34)."AvgExp"
and
MovAvgExponential("length" = 34)."AvgExp" is greater than or equal to MovAvgExponential("length" = 55)."AvgExp"
and
MovAvgExponential("length" = 55)."AvgExp" is greater than or equal to MovAvgExponential("length" = 89)."AvgExp"

New to the site and the thread but looks to be a solid community of traders.

I�m looking for some help.

I need a custom scanner for TOS that shows me stocks trading above the 9 day MA for 5 consecutive days. Does not matter by how much, but wouldnt hurt to be able to adjust that.

If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great.

Code

##price low from last 5 bars has traded above the 9 EMA moving average

low from 5 bars ago is greater than or equal to MovAvgExponential()."AvgExp" from 5 bars ago and low from 4 bars ago is greater than or equal to MovAvgExponential()."AvgExp" from 4 bars ago and low from 3 bars ago is greater than or equal to MovAvgExponential()."AvgExp" from 3 bars ago and low from 2 bars ago is greater than or equal to MovAvgExponential()."AvgExp" from 2 bars ago and low from 1 bars ago is greater than or equal to MovAvgExponential()."AvgExp" from 1 bars ago

Thanks for the help,

Can you help me out with scanner with the criteria below?

THE VOLUME AVERAGE OVER THE PAST 20 DAYS IS GREATER THAN THE VOLUME AVERAGE OVER THE PAST 150 DAYS

I WOULD WANT THE 150 DAYS TO EXCLUDE THE PAST 20 DAYS

THANK YOU

Hi,

can someone help me with a scanner for thinkorswim. I'm looking to find stocks that coming down and are approaching the 20MA from an uptrend. I'm looking to find stocks where it's within 3% of the 20MA

can someone please help me??

DaveDoggyDogg - Thank you so much for the tip on finding the Moving Average Scan x% above/below a stock's SMA. QUESTION PLEASE: How can I Chart this as well? For example, I'd like to see on the chart when stock ABC's last price/close/open was say 15% below its 150 day SMA. Can this be done? Thank you again!

Symbols that the PRICE is 10% AWAY FROM the 30SMA

Code

def ma = SimpleMovingAvg(close,30);
def percent = ma*0.10;
plot scan = absvalue(close - ma) is greater than or equal to percent;

or short version

(both are the same just coded differently)

Code

def ma = SimpleMovingAvg(close,30);
def percent = ma*0.10;
plot scan = absvalue(close - ma) >= percent;

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the exact moving average scanner scan you want it is already built into TOS "jym shoe"
no custom thinkscript needed do what you want, just do the following in thinkorswim :

**STOCK HACKER > ADD STUDY FILTER>POPULAR STUDIES>MOVINGAVERAGE_SCAN>
select
**The Close is atleast 10% above the 30 period Simple moving average

(you can choose ema ( exponential ) sma ( simple ) weighted wilders and hull )

This is some simple code that you can use as a custom study on the Stock Scanner tab of ToS....

def FiftySMA = Reference SimpleMovingAvg(length=50);
def priceOffset = Close() - FiftySMA;
def offSetPercentage = AbsValue(priceOffset/FiftySMA);

plot inRange = offsetPercentage <= 0.05;

Run the scan after hours and it should give you the stocks whose daily close is within 5% of the 50 Day SMA.

hello,

I would like to create a scan that lists all stocks whose price is 5% within their 50DAY SMA.

is there a way to create that sort of screen in TOS?

any help appreciated.
