 How could I write the code for the following rule and use it as a filter for a watch list? 

Find all the stocks that for the last two days their close was higher than their open
and the open of yesterday was above the close of the day before yesterday.

 Please try the following RealCode Rule (you can Drag and Drop it into the Filter to use it as a Filter):

If Price.Last > Price.Open AndAlso _
    Price.Last(1) > Price.Open(1) AndAlso _
    Price.Open(1) > Price.Last(2) Then Pass

 I compiled it before I posted it. What error messages are you getting? Are you using it as RealCode Rule as indicated?

It is working now. I had forgotten the underline at the end of each line.
What is the meaning og those underlines? Also, what is the difference
between and and AndAlso?

Thanks,

Hossein

 The "space"_ tells the code that it continues on the next line.

Using andalso instead of and will speed up the code a bit. As soon as one of our conditions is false it will stop and return false.
