Hi,
I am using stockfinder 5 beta. 

How do I create a scan condition that looks for stock within +/- 3% away from it's 21EMA, 50EMA, 150EMA and 200EMA. Trying to find stock with all of the above EMA converges within + or - 3% of price. 



thanks

Having confirmed the logic a minor rearragement will improve performance a bit
