Thanks Quasi for your help! I am also trying to figure out a way to identify B/O (break-out) using a combination of moving average and close for today. For ex., EMA 50 is flat for the past 10 days, plus or minus 2%, AND today's close crosses yesterday's high. I can figure out the later part, but I'm unable to figure a way to identify a plus/minus 2% on the EMA 50. Any ideas?
