Hi,

I'm trying to use a filter rule that gets the series for the SPY ETF and calculates an EMA to see if the SPY is closing above it's 75 average.

spy = getseries("SPY", close);
rule1 = spy > ema(spy,75);

Is this the correct way to express it ?

Also, if I want to see this formula expressed in a pane, is this the correct way of doing it ?

SPY:
symbol = "SPY";
close1 = GetSeries(symbol, close);
open1 = GetSeries(symbol, open);
high1 = GetSeries(symbol, high);
low1 = GetSeries(symbol, low);

PlotCandleStick1(open1, high1, low1, close1, symbol, colorBlack, StyleOwnScale);
PrintChart(symbol, "", BottomLeft, colorBlack, colorTransparent, colorTransparent, 255);

EMA:
symbol = "SPY";
close1 = GetSeries(symbol, close);
a = Ema(close1, 75);
Plot(a, "EMA", colorBlue, chartLine, StyleWidth2);

Thanks,

Yes, it is correct. You can check that by plotting it on a chart.

When using the pane as described above, I notice that if I zoom in/out using de number of bars slider, the EMA changes position. Is there a way to avoid this behaviour?

Thanks

Yes, you need to replace "StyleOwnScale" style in the formula with something like "StyleSymbolNone" to force the plot to use the default scale.
