Is there a streamlined way of writing the following for price crossing a value.  I just want to be able to enter the number once instead of twice for a condition/scan that I am creating.

C1 < number and C > number 

I tried

C1 < number < C but it says false when I test it

Since you are using TC2000 v18, you should be able to write this as follows.

XUP(C, number)

Where number is eiher a numeric value or a formula returning a numeric value.

thank you.  I finally found it right after I typed the question.

You're welcome. I am happy to read you were able to find it on your own as well.
