Identify Rising and Falling MAs
I would like to be able to buy stocks crossing a RISING MA and sell stocks crossing a FALLING MA. I can see no way to do that in VV6, VV7 or ProTrader. Something simple like MA Day 1>/< MA Day-1 would great.

Price crossing below its MA, as a Sell signal, cannot be used in the Backtester. It is not an option, yet most investors & traders rely on MAs of Price as their most significant Indicator of price direction. Why not make it available?

Hi Peter,
Just to clarify what you're looking for, have you tried the Moving Average Crossover in VectorVest 7.... this will find a stock that's Price is crossing its Moving Average.
Are you saying that you are looking for a stock's Price crossing a rising Moving Average instead?Thanks for the feedback.
