David,
 
I think Steve's second email is a 
good solution using Cross in conjunction with HHV - it allows youto 
look backward in time. 
 
I'll continue to play around as this scan it 
something I will use.
 
Tomasz,
 
Can you please confirm that the Hold condition sets 
the array to 1 forward in time the specified number of slots inthe 
hold result array from the first position where it was set to 1 (ie true) 
?
 
Thanks,
 
Geoff

ok I'm concerned that if the condition changes ami will 
still hold it trueeven though it is now false using the hold()."This 
true result is held true over the number of periods specified even ifa 
"false" result is generated. "I don't wish to extend the condition 
forcing a false signal.What I wanted was if condition x is meet then as 
long as its true look forthe next condition .I guess you can see the 
intent in the bow tie formula.has the ma10,ma20 ,ma30 crossed in the 
last xn daysif yeshas the pull back occurredif yeshas the 
higher high occurredif all 3 conditions are true then signal a 
buyGeoff's multi  condition does it but was looking for a cleaned 
way toexpress it .Maybe i just have to nest a bunch of conditionsand 
if there true nestanother.DOES THIS MAKE sense to anyone or is my 
logic out of sync/* Bow Tie conditions - Short term moving average has 
crossed the long termmoving average sometime in the last xn days - Add 
more conditions for moredays */cond1=cross (ma(close, 10 ),ema
