Trying to create a scan for the RSI crossing up thru its RSI 9 day sma

Yes you are not the only one who has had a little difficulty getting the coding just right. As you are looking to scan for an overlay of an indicator, SMA(9) of the RSI(14).

The normal format for SMA is SMA(period, expression), although we often see it in short form just SMA(9), this is actually SMA(9, close) which is the default. So we just need to replace "close" with the expression we are looking for.


and [today's daily RSI(14) > today's daily sma(9,RSI(14))]
and [yesterday's daily RSI(14) < yesterday's daily sma(9,RSI(14))]

Here's an older article which explains this in more detail.
