Charles -
You want both the shorter averages greater than the longest, and you
want to identify a cross. Preston is quite right that both crosses
occuring on the same bar is unlikey. (Guppy abandons crosses for the
most part, and looks at convergence of multiple averages. A different
set of issues.)
Possibly the following will help:
(ColA>ColB
and
ColB>ColC)
And
(Cross(ColA,ColC)
OR
Cross(ColB,ColC));
