The easiest way to do this would probably be to click on the indicator and select Create Scan Condition.

Create Conditions from Your Chart

You would want to select one of the Moving Up options from the list and set the Period setting to the minimum number of bars over which you are looking for a trend.

In the case of Moving Up Net and Moving Up %, there will also be an option to specify the minimum net or percent change over the period for the move up to qualify. You should not use the % option for any indicators which can equal or cross through zero.

In the case of Moving Up Smart, there is a slider with descriptions such as Slowly, Fast and Very Fast describing the amount of movement required. If you need to know how the move up is being calculated, you should use Moving Up Net or Moving up %.

You can then add the condition to an EasyScan to scan the List to Scan of the EasyScan for symbols meeting all of the requirements of that EasyScan.
