 Spent part of the afternoon googling for articles on the Guppy MMA's.  Here are two interesting reads:

 Alf,
 
 Here is the formula (From MetaStock) for MMA Osc. It does seem to ressemble the MACD doesn't it? Just glancing at this I think it will require an advanced subscription to implement in SF.
 
 ((Mov(CLOSE,3,E)+Mov(CLOSE,5,E)+
 Mov(CLOSE,8,E)+Mov(CLOSE,10,E)+
 Mov(CLOSE,12,E)+Mov(CLOSE,15,E))-
 (Mov(CLOSE,30,E)+Mov(CLOSE,35,E)+
 Mov(CLOSE,40,E)+Mov(CLOSE,45,E)+
 Mov(CLOSE,50,E)+Mov(CLOSE,60,E)))*10;
 
 (Mov((Mov(CLOSE,3,E)+Mov(CLOSE,5,E)+
 Mov(CLOSE,8,E)+Mov(CLOSE,10,E)+
 Mov(CLOSE,12,E)+Mov(CLOSE,15,E))-
 (Mov(CLOSE,30,E)+Mov(CLOSE,35,E)+
 Mov(CLOSE,40,E)+Mov(CLOSE,45,E)+
 Mov(CLOSE,50,E)+Mov(CLOSE,60,E)),13,E))*10;
 
 
 dkatz,
 Thank you, and I am glad you are getting use out the the Stockfetcher doc. I try and keep it up to date as much as possible.
 
 I am not sure how one might apply MMA to short term trading. I think it is much more useful for monitoring trends.
 
 
 maxreturn,
 
 Thanks for the links they were interesting.

 ...hmmmm...
 
 I'm not a Metastock guy...and although (after a somewhat brief look at the syntax) I can SEE that the Math behind this MMA Oscillator is effectively the DIFFERENCE between the SUMS of the 2 different groups of Moving Averages...which is (as I said earlier) a variation of a MACD...I'm REALLY at a loss as to how to implement it here at SF !
 
 Perhaps some others can offer some help !
 
 Perhaps "tomb"...or others from the SF "think tank" could offer BOTH the MMA Indicator...as well as the MMA Oscillator !
 
 Anyone want to take a shot at this ?
 
 
 Regards,
 
 alf44

 Thank you for this post. Started playing around with EMA 15,60 crossovers and couldn't believe my own eyes! Then played with EMA 30,60 crossovers and it just got better! I have also been a huge fan of "Rainbow MA's" but this takes it to the next level. Again thank you sir! Also, I also reference your "commands" site @ yepher.com, and am truly grateful for your effort and hard work.
 
 Rick Riggs.

 Any of ya'll have the requisite SF knowledge to program a filter that will show stocks that the long term MMA and short term MMA groups are converging?
 
 Trade Mike said this was the ROUGH formula @TeleChart
 -------------------------------------------------------
 "I made a screen that was a ROUGH approximation of the MMAs converging.  This is it for TeleChart:
 
 ABS( AVGC3 - AVGC45) <= 1  -- that's the absolute value of the average of the last 3 closes minus the 45 day average
 
 Somehow I dreamed that up b/c TeleChart didn't let us use EMAs in formulas at the time (it does now so maybe I should update it).  But it seems to work OK.  For example it found DOV...
 
 But it turned out that I actually liked looking at my other scans and just eyeballing the converging MMAs.
 
 Good luck,
 
 Mike
 "------------------------------------------------
 
 Any Ideas?

 Here's the conversion of Guppy MMA from the above Metastock formula into SF paradigm:
 
 ####1 of 2####
 
 ((Mov(CLOSE,3,E)+Mov(CLOSE,5,E)+
 Mov(CLOSE,8,E)+Mov(CLOSE,10,E)+
 Mov(CLOSE,12,E)+Mov(CLOSE,15,E))-
 (Mov(CLOSE,30,E)+Mov(CLOSE,35,E)+
 Mov(CLOSE,40,E)+Mov(CLOSE,45,E)+
 Mov(CLOSE,50,E)+Mov(CLOSE,60,E)))*10;
 --------------------------------------
 
 ####2 of 2####
 
 (Mov((Mov(CLOSE,3,E)+Mov(CLOSE,5,E)+
 Mov(CLOSE,8,E)+Mov(CLOSE,10,E)+
 Mov(CLOSE,12,E)+Mov(CLOSE,15,E))-
 (Mov(CLOSE,30,E)+Mov(CLOSE,35,E)+
 Mov(CLOSE,40,E)+Mov(CLOSE,45,E)+
 Mov(CLOSE,50,E)+Mov(CLOSE,60,E)),13,E))*10;
 --------------------------------------
 
 
 ####Trade Mike's ROUGH approximation of the MMAs converging @TeleChart####
 
 ABS( AVGC3 - AVGC45) <= 1
 --------------------------------------

 I was trying my own variation but it won't work... probably because I'm trying to divide by 'close price' and it's not working
 
 ((ABS(EMA(3) - EMA(45))/close) <= .03
 
 That filter doesn't work even if I type in 1 there... i'm trying to make it look for a percentage and not just a hard number... how do I get close to work?
