Brian,
     That's why MetaStock has the Alert function.  You can set the
alert function for X crossing 70 and it will hold a true flag for the
number of days you set.  For example
     Enter Short:
       Alert(Cross(X,70),21) AND
         Cross(60,X)
will give you a sell signal when C crosses below 60 if it has also
crossed above 70 any time within the last 21 days.  You can set the
number of days in the Alert function to any value you want.
