[EquisMetaStock Group] Triple Moving Average

I've been working on Dawn Balton Smith's triple moving
average, 
which is a five, fifteen, thirty simple moving average based on the 
close. Now one characteristic of this set of averages is that when 
the averages are equidistant from each other or if they are 
clustered, this is supposed to be a strong indication for a trend 
reversal.
I'm trying to write a Metastock exploration to find when the 
averages are both clustered or equidistant. 
So far I have set each average in column A, B, and C respectively 
ie. Mov(close,5,s) in column A, Mov(close,15,s) in column B and Mov
(close,30,s) in column C.
In the filters column I have ColB-ColA=ColC-ColB.
This works but the problem is that the averages are calculated to 
four decimal places, which is too exact and the exploration
doesn't 
come out with enough results. I need to adjust it to get say a 0.5% 
margin for error, which would give the averages a couple of ticks 
leeway.
Does anyone have any idea how I can loosen up the criteria a bit to 
get more results out of the exploration. Any tips would be greatly 
appreciated.

Regards, Tom
