Hi,
 
In fact Steve's solution:
 
var0 = cross (ma(close, 10 ),ema (close, 30) ) ;var1 = 
IIF(HHV(var0,-10) = 1,1,0) ;
is equivalent to
 
var1 = Hold( var0, 10 );
 
so var1 remains true if at least one "true" 
signal occured within previous 10 bars. 
 
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko

David,
 
I think Steve's second email is a 
good solution using Cross in conjunction with HHV - it allows you to 
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 
in the hold result array from the first position where it was set to1 
(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

occurredif yeshas the higher high occurredif all 3 conditions 
are true then signal a buyGeoff's multi  condition does itbut 
was looking for a cleaned way toexpress it .Maybe i just have to 
nest a bunch of conditions and if there true nestanother.DOES 
THIS MAKE sense to anyone or is my logic out of sync/* Bow Tie
