I created a scan that is INTENDED to show stocks where the current sma20 is greater than the current sma200.
But the scan is showing some stocks where the sma200 is currently greater than sma20.
I've tried changing the time range box on the right to D as well as 5min. Still shows incorrect stocks.
Any idea how to accomplish my goal and/or why my criteria isn't giving me the expected results?
EDIT: I figured it out. I need to be on the same time chart as set in the scan. So, while I had the scanner set to 5 min, I was actually in the 2 min chart. When I changed my scan to the 2 min and was in the 2 min chart, I got the expected results.

Another option for great scanning capabilities is finviz. Several youtube videos on how to do various scans. All for free, although there's a more sophisticated paid version as well.
