Daniel you are right. The alert function, as I have used it, will only flag
stocks which have been below the 60 day simple moving average at ANY time
over the past 20 days,not for 20 consecutive days.
Sum((C-Mov(C,60,S))<0,20)=20 .....posted by HHP would seem to do the trick.
Or try: Sum(C<Mov(C,60,S),20)=20 which is simpler again.
