Is there a way to Easyscan for closing price crossing above or below a comparison symbol line such as the SP-500? Thanks!

If price crosses a comparison symbol it is meaningless. Price and a comparison symbol are plotted on their own scales.

If you change the zoom of your chart you will see how the two relate to each other changes.

If you want to look for a relationship between one symbol and another with technical significance you should use a relative strength line.

Craig,

I just reviewed the video on this subject and your comments and it helped me understand intellectually how it works. It is sure going to take some practice to "ignore" the "apparent relationship" between the lines and price, i.e. appearing as crossovers, etc. As always, thanks for your help.
