 The following Condition Formula would check for all three moving averages to be within 2% of each other:

(AVGC8 + AVGC20 + ABS(AVGC8 - AVGC20) + 2 * (AVGC50) + ABS(AVGC8 + AVGC20 + ABS(AVGC8 - AVGC20) - 2 * (AVGC50))) / (AVGC8 + AVGC20 - ABS(AVGC8 - AVGC20) + 2 * (AVGC50) - ABS(AVGC8 + AVGC20 - ABS(AVGC8 - AVGC20) - 2 * (AVGC50))) <= 1.02

You could change the 1.02 at the end of the formula to 1.03 to check for 3% instead.
