Hi,

You can wrap a ROC() function around an MA to find the value you are after.

Here’s a quick example using a 40SMA and a 10 Bar ROC…

//Set MA V1 = MA(BARS=40) ; //Find ROC of MA V2 = ROC(V1); //Find where MA ROC is greater than 2 V3 = V2 > 2; //Plot MA ROC and values of 2 or higher Plot1 = V2; Plot1.Plotstyle = Shaded; Plot2 = V3; Plot2.Plotstyle = ShadedStep; Plot2.Colour = Red;

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

//Set MA V1 = MA(BARS=40) ; //Find ROC of MA V2 = ROC(V1); //Find where MA ROC is greater than 2 V3 = V2 > 2; //Plot MA ROC and values of 2 or higher Plot1 = V2; Plot1.Plotstyle = Shaded; Plot2 = V3; Plot2.Plotstyle = ShadedStep; Plot2.Colour = Red;

Here is how it would look on a chart using a Show View:

For a scan, you’d look for V3 as the criteria:

pre>//Set MA V1 = MA(BARS=40) ; //Find ROC of MA V2 = ROC(V1); //Find where MA ROC is greater than 2 V3 = V2 > 2; V3

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

pre>//Set MA V1 = MA(BARS=40) ; //Find ROC of MA V2 = ROC(V1); //Find where MA ROC is greater than 2 V3 = V2 > 2; V3
