samody,
You will need to add a price condition to the moving averages you want to place.And add the logical operator "and". If you want yesterday's closing price above these MA in an uptrend for example try:

C1 > AVGC20 AND AVGC20 > AVGC40 AND AVGC40 > AVGC100 AND AVGC100 > AVGC200

In your editing formulas window double click the function to adjust a criteria such as price or moving ave.

The correct way to write "20SMA>40SMA>100SMA>200SMA" in the PCF syntax:

AVGC20 > AVGC40 AND AVGC40 > AVGC100 AND AVGC100 > AVGC200
