Charles,
1) Delete any code in Column A,
2) Delete any code in Column B,
3) Copy and paste the code below into the Filter.
{Filter}
(Cross(Mov(C, 8,E),Mov( C,13,E)) AND
Cross(Mov(C, 13,E),Mov( C,21,E))) OR
(Cross(Mov(C, 13,E),Mov( C,21,E)) AND
BarsSince(Cross( Mov(C,8,E) ,Mov(C,13, E)))<
BarsSince(Cross( Mov(C,13, E),Mov(C, 8,E))));
All the best.
Rob

Preston, Ron and Rob,
Thank you all for your great suggestions! I looked at all of your
input and due to my lack of understanding of a lot of this Metastock
stuff, the formula Rob submitted was the one that was easiest for me
to understand, and enter into the software; and it works (although
with one false signal, which I can live with). I still have a steep
learning curve to climb to gain a better understanding of how to
program this software to get it to do what I want.
I do have one additional question. When using Rob's suggestion and
printing out the results, "ColA" and "ColB" print out with
corresponding numbers. How do I eliminate the printing of ColA and
ColB and still generate the same results? Thanks again for your
great help! Peace!
Charles
