   I would like to write a filter for 3 converging MA's, a 13, 26, and 50. If it is not possible to do all three together, perhaps we could do two different filters and put them in a watch list to combine results. In other words, I want the three MA  going sideways close together.

  I posted a few of those types of filters.

  You can try:
 Ma (13) equal to ma(26)
 ma(26) equal to ma (50)
 
 I've used this method, but with ma (5), ma(10) and ma(15) and it  works.

 You can tweak this by changing the lines:
 
 diff1 below .XX
 diff2 below .XX

  Corino and TRO- many thanks for your quick reply. Corino I got no hits from your screen going back over a year. I must have done something wrong. TRO I tried a search before I asked for help and did not find anything helpful. Today I tried a different search and found several of your posts. I copied them then changed the length of the MA"s and it works pretty well. Probably as close as I am going to get. Using your filter some have already broken out up or down in the past three days but others are spot on.  Now I have to do my own DD. It's probably obvious I intend to try Option Straddles or Strangles. Absent outside influences, stocks in these patterns (but with volatile histories) will generally break up or down significantly over the next 6 months. Again many thanks to you both.
