I don't know if you've gotten any replies off line on this one, but
here's one way to do it: <br>
<br>
To screen for your conditions, you have to create a new
exploration.&nbsp; In one of the columns of the explorer, you would place
the following in the dialogue box <br>
<br>
</font><font size=3 color="#990000">XDN:=SAR(0.02,0.2)&gt;C;</font><font size=3>
<br>
</font><font size=3 color="#990000">Cross(Sum(XDN,4)=4,
0.5)</font><font size=3> <br>
<br>
I've used a &quot;sum()&quot; function to make sure that I don't capture
situations where the Parabolic SAR flipped five days ago, but within the
following four days flipped back.&nbsp; The 4 in the second line suggests
that the closing price has been below the Parabolic SAR for 4 days; you
can change these two 4's to any number you prefer. <br>
<br>
For a stock that's just changed to a close above the Parabolic SAR use
<br>
<br>
</font><font size=3 color="#990000">CROSS(CLOSE, SAR(0.02,
0.20))</font><font size=3> <br>
<br>
in another column when you build your exploration.&nbsp; I haven't had a
chance to test these out yet, but that's the gist of what you would use.

How could I screen stocks that were above the Parabolic SAR 5 days ago,
and <br>
now have fallen below? <br>
<br>
Also, stocks which just became a buy by trading above the SAR today 
<br>
(previous day it traded below). <br>
<br>
Thanks so much.</font></blockquote></blockquote><br>
