Can you be little more specific on what you want to achieve? What is it about the close of the three major indexes that you have in mind? Unless you tell StockFetcher what it needs to do with such information, you'll just end up with 8500+ useless stocks. On the other hand, you could tell StockFetcher to find stocks that have crossed above its 50-day moving average only if the Dow Jones is above its 50-day moving average.
BTW, what's the need for using "indposition" in ure filter?

I am trying to write a display (not filter) which I can add to my watch list. May be I was not clear in my earlier post.
One of the uses I was thinking of looking for the divergence comparing the stock against major indices and deciding long or short plays for swing trades based on market. I am trying to use Dow's theory.
The criteria you have added can be useful to add to my filters.
Thanks for your response any additional suggestions are welcome too.
Thanks

If you just want to compare a given stock against any or all of the indexes or perhaps with another stock within the same industry or sector, you can use the "compare to" qualifier instead:
