Your PCF looks for 4 closes below the
3 day exp. mav.

(I would assume thats a pullback
after strength)

For 3 months you could use:

C>C63

or add a "factor" (at least 10% higher):

C>(C63*1.1)

or use a sort condition (percent change):

(C/(C63*100))-100

and limit your scan to the top 10 or 20
percent of stocks.

Thanks

Solaris, I think this PCF is closer to what you want:

C>XAVGC21 AND C21>XAVGC21.21 AND C42>XAVGC21.42

There are several ways to do what you want (see the link provided by Naresh). My solution above compares price to an exponential moving average like your attempt above.
