Please try the following:

Minimum Close over 5-Periods within 6% of Minimum Close over 500-Periods:

MINC5 / MIN500 <= 1.06

I'm not sure if you are looking for Closing Prices or Minimum Closing Prices over a period of time. If you want to compare the Closing Prices from 5-Periods Ago, 250-Periods Ago and 500-Periods Ago, you might wish to try the following instead:

C5, C250 and C500 within 6% of each other:

C250 / C5 <= 1.06 AND C500 / C5 <= 1.06 AND C5 / C250 <= 1.06 AND C500 / C250 <= 1.06 AND C5 / C500 <= 1.06 AND C250 / C500 <= 1.06

Please try one of the following:

Closing Price from 5-Periods Ago is at Lowest Closing Price of the last 6-Months:

C5 = MINC126

Minimum Closing Price over the last 5-Periods is Lowest at Lowest Closing Price of the last 6-Months:

MINC5 = MINC126

Hi Bruce
what i am trying to use is the lowest closing price, in other words i am trying to say that the lowest closing price between C5, C250 and C500 hasn't been more that 6% from each other. is like saying that when stocks are at or close to those closing prices they tend to bounce back
thanks

My original interpretation is not even close to your apparent intent. Please try the following instead:

Minimum 245-Period Close ending 5-Periods Ago and Minimum 250-Period Close ending 250-Periods Ago within 6% of each other:

MINC245.5 / MINC250.250 <= 1.06 AND MINC250.250 / MINC245.5 <= 1.06

Are you saying that the last 250 closing days that ended 5 days ago in relation to the previous 250 days don’t have a closing price difference of more than 6% ?
thanks

No. There are 245 days from C250 to C5, not 250 days. If you want to look at the 250 Trading Days ending 5-Periods Ago and the 250-Trading Days immediately prior to that 250-Trading Day Period instead, please try the following:

Minimum 250-Period Close ending 5-Periods Ago and Minimum 250-Period Close ending 255-Periods Ago within 6% of each other:

MINC250.5 / MINC250.255 <= 1.06 AND MINC250.255 / MINC250.5 <= 1.06
