 When MACD Fast Line crosses over the Slow line , sometimes the filter produces many flatliners that have both lines crossing almost in the horizontal postion.
 
 Anyone out there can suggest how I can look for a MACD crossover , Fast Line over slow line but the slope of the fast line is upwards and pointing in the 1 o'clock or 2 o' clock position, with the angular separation between the fast and slow line to be as large as possible (above 30 degrees).
 
 I believe these will produce stocks that are the strongest movers.
 
 Thanks
 Nat

 If you think of a clock as a degree wheel, then 1:30 would be 45 degrees from center, which is a slope of 1. So for the 1 o'clock position, the slope would be a little more than 1, and a little less for 2 o'clock.  So I would word the filter to state the slope of the MACD fast line is above 0.8, or whatever you like.  As for the separation between MACD fast and slow lines, I would try to use a query for MACD histogram - maybe MACD histogram reached a new X day high.
 
 Hope that helps a little...
