Will try again hopefully someone knows.
Suppose you have two lines (for example a moving ave. and a Bollinger band) on a chart and while might you want to see the price close above both for the first time, that doesn't always happen. Sometimes it will cross one and then the other a day or two later.
So how do I construct a search for both happening together for the first time within a certain period of time without regard to which happens first?

zaq777,
Is this what you're looking for?
Just edit the number of lookback days.

A better way of putting the question.
How do I find when two or more indicators or situations on a chart coincide for the first time in a set number of days?
Did x AND y happen today? Yes
Did x AND y happen yesterday or any other day recently? No
Did x happen before today? Maybe
Did y happen before today? Maybe
I haven't yet tried the current suggestions and will tomorrow.

Try this one. I think it's what you had in mind.
Nice little filter for breakouts. Pop.....

I saw that mahkoh posted on your other discussion post. I agree that your best to look back at filters from other members. You'll learn fastest that way. Kevin_in_GA is no longer on SF but you'll find his work to be an encyclopedia of useful information. He also organized things so his filters are easy to follow.

I see his answer from 2014 was good after all. I misremembered that.
Thanks.
The problem for me is how incomprehensible the advanced format is.
Thank you everyone who gave it a shot.
