 Please try the following:

Simple:

AVGC3 > AVGC8 AND AVGC8 > AVGC13

Exponential:

XAVGC3 > XAVGC8 AND XAVGC8 > XAVGC13

 I answered your original post here:

Moving Averages

Bruce intepreted your question a little differently. I interpreted it as actual crossovers, Bruce gave you the formulas for find where AVG A is above AVG B and AVG B is above AVG C.

 In further thinking (I know, always trouble)....I want that time when ALL the MA's I pick are sitting at the same price point...for example, the 3, 8, and 13 are all sitting right on top of each other and price. I almost think this would be a convergence point, maybe not. Hoep I explained this right.

Thanks for your help.

 doug1746,
One option might be sort by the Percent Difference between the Highest and Lowest of the three Moving Averages:

Simple:

100 * ((AVGC3 + AVGC8 + ABS(AVGC3 - AVGC8) + 2 * (AVGC13) + ABS(AVGC3 + AVGC8 + ABS(AVGC3 - AVGC8) - 2 * (AVGC13))) / 4) / ((AVGC3 + AVGC8 - ABS(AVGC3 - AVGC8) + 2 * (AVGC13) - ABS(AVGC3 + AVGC8 - ABS(AVGC3 - AVGC8) - 2 * (AVGC13))) / 4) - 100

Exponential:

100 * ((XAVGC3 + XAVGC8 + ABS(XAVGC3 - XAVGC8) + 2 * (XAVGC13) + ABS(XAVGC3 + XAVGC8 + ABS(XAVGC3 - XAVGC8) - 2 * (XAVGC13))) / 4) / ((XAVGC3 + XAVGC8 - ABS(XAVGC3 - XAVGC8) + 2 * (XAVGC13) - ABS(XAVGC3 + XAVGC8 - ABS(XAVGC3 - XAVGC8) - 2 * (XAVGC13))) / 4) - 100

You can add a < or <= and a value to the end if you want to set a specific threshold. You may wish to review the following:
