Jan, just a top-of-the-head thought: What about looking for an extended period in the past of closing above the 50 day (but allowing 1 or 2 occassional touches of the 50 day) and then a recent period of consecutive closes close to the 50 day: define "5ma" as 5 day sma of close, "50ma" as 50 day ma of close: if( 5ma(-100)>1.150ma(-100) AND 5ma(-90) > 1.150ma(-90) AND...up to about 20 days ago: 5ma(-20) > 1.150ma(-20)) {this next condition check for it riding the 50 day of-late} AND if( 5ma(-10)<1.0550ma(-10) and 5ma(-5)<1.0550ma(-5) AND 5ma(0) < 1.0550ma(0) explainations: 5ma(-100) means the value of the 5 day SMA 100 days ago. The >1.1 means it has to be 10% above the 50 day. This might do what you're looking for. If you use QuotesPlus as your data provider, you can screen the whole database for this and get a ticker list that you use to export the data to Metastock (I do a similar thing). If this wasn't clear, please ask. dh
