Hi i would like to use an adx filter to screen stocks. Unfortunately I can not post a screen shot here as I can't seem to cut and paste an example from SF. I will do my best to describe. Basically I am looking for a particular pattern where the adx(14) line is far below the -DI(14) and +DI(14) lines. I want to see the ADX(14) line forming a cup shape (i.e. decreasing for a few days then increasing. As the adx(14) line is increasing I would like to see the +DI and -DI(14) lines diverging. Thus giving a long signal when +DI is above -DI and vice versa.
I thought this should be easy but my programming skills suck, this is what i wrote for long trades:
show stocks where ADX(14) decreasing for 3 days then increasing for 3 days
and adx(14) below 15
and +DI(14) above -DI(14)
and -DI(14) above 20
and +DI(14) and -DI(14) are diverging
and close above 15
I have have had good success with this pattern but can't seem to get the code to show what i want. Any help would be appreciated

Hi Chetron, thanks for your help. I have read more of the user guide and came up with this:
show stocks where adx(14) 2 days ago had been decreasing for 5 days
and adx(14) has been increasing for the last 2 days
and adx(14) below -DI(14)
and adx(14) below +DI(14)
and +DI(14) and -DI(14) are diverging for the last 2 days
and volume above 100000
and close above 5
Its closer to what i was looking for, but i'm still trying to sort out how to filter for a gentle divergence between the -DI and +DI lines. If you run the above scan ABI will be the third hit. The signal produced in april is what i'm looking for. As you can see, the +DI and -DI lines slope gently away from each other. When red is above green go short and vice versa. I have found that when the divergence is more severe the signal is much less reliable.
Any ideas on how to capture this idea in code? Thanks

Try this...
First post. Don't know how to set up the fetcher.
show stocks where adx(14) 2 days ago had been decreasing for 5 days
and adx(14) has been increasing for the last 2 days
and adx(14) below -DI(14)
and adx(14) below +DI(14)
and +DI(14) crosses -DI(14) last 2 days
and volume above 100000
and close above 5

Alright this is the extent of my SF prowness thus far. I couldn't figure out how to use the same filter for buy and sell screens so I modified Infront's filter into 2. Infront, nice filter.

and adx(14) below +DI(14)
and -DI(14) crossed above +DI(14) last 2 days
and volume above 100000
and close above 5
