 Thank you. I 
ran your script and realized that I asked the wrong question. What I am trying 
to determine is if the price has been in a "continuous" up or down trend for n 
periods.

Depends on how you want to define trending Higher or lower..Here is 
a sample explore... 
  
//Automatic analysis 
//Explore 
//all symbols 
//n last quotations 
//n=1 
periods= 10;
trending= ROC(C,periods);
trendingUP=trending >  0;
trendingDown=trending <  0;
state= WriteIf(trendingup,"trendingUP for 
("+WriteVal(periods,1)+") periods ","trendingdown for 
("+WriteVal(periods,1)+")periods");
Filter= 1;
AddTextColumn (state,"State");

  Would 
  someone be able to tell me how to write a condition to a scan that says 'if 
  prices are trending either higher or lower for n periods'? 
    
  Thank 
  you
