Hello to All,
I am new to trading as well as to this site. Saw a lot of helpful and smart people here. So I joined to get some help on thinkorswim. I am currently using this platform but it is really complicated. I am trying to create a scan where I can scan 3 or more moving averages at the same time and get an alert before that happens. So far unsuccessful. Can anyone please help me in creating a think script for 3 simple moving averages( 20,50,200 SMAs) crossing close to each other to the upside at single point and get an alert right when it is happening. Please check this screenshot and the point where it is splitting in an upward movement. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Try this script for scan

 
Code
def SMA1 = MovingAverage (averageType.SIMPLE,close,20);
def SMA2 = MovingAverage (averageType.SIMPLE,close,50);
def SMA3 = MovingAverage (averageType.SIMPLE,close,200);

def Cros1 =  crosses (SMA1,SMA2,crossingDirection.ANY);
def Cros2 = crosses (SMA2,SMA3,crossingDirection.ANY);


plot signal = Cros1 AND Cros2;
