Charles-
What I wrote is incorrect.
Your filter will return only the tickers in the state of A>B and B>C
If B>C, then A had to have just crossed above B to get to A>B and B>C
{an event}
If A>C, then B had to have just crossed C to get to A>B and B>C{an
event}
So:
(ColA>ColB
AND
ColB>ColC)
AND
(Cross(colA,ColB)
OR
Cross(colB,ColC);
I hope I have it right this time....
