  I need help with a filter the will scan all stocks that crossed  the weekly 20 day moving avg less 1 % .  In other words, stocks that is getting ready to cross the weekly 20 day moving average, but have not done so.  Thanks.

 TP2 other considerations on based on your query...
 
 /* "crossed" weekly MA(20) by < 1% */ 
 close crossed above weekly MA(20)
 and close < 1.00% above weekly MA(20)
 
 /* stocks "above" weekly MA(20) and by less than 1.00%  */
 Close above weekly MA(20)
 and close < 1.00% above weekly MA(20)
 
 /* "Have not crossed" ma(20) but are less than 1% below */
 close below weekly MA(20)
 close < 1.00% below weekly MA(20)
 
 note also that you are comparing "daily" close to the "weekly" MA(20)

  Stocks that have been below weekly ma(20) for at least 50 days. Change 50 and 49 in the first line to your liking.
 
  	    
 
 or a combination. Close may have been above weekly ma(20) for up to 15 days in the last 100 but not during the last 10 days

  Somehow using weekly values messes up filter results. Compare the filter using weekly ma(20) andthe one below which uses daily ma(100) which should give roughly the same results.  A lot of the weekly filter results simply are not consistent with the filter syntax.
