Owen,

Weigted moving average - check AFL library via Ab web site - I'm pretty sure
this has come up before. There are many variations on weighted moving
average though - you may need to specify exactlly what you need.

Bars since - use AB barssince() function like Metastock.

Mutiple exit criteria - in your system test just set relevant AFL variable
(for long "sell") using your own expression (you can use Boolean operators
to handel multiple conditions).
