Is there a way to tell the filter to show stocks only when S&P 500 is above its MA(X) and MA(X) is above MA(Y)? Here is what I tried among other things.

and set{sp12,^spx MA12}
and set{sp26,^spx MA26}
and sp12>sp26
and ^spx>sp12

++++++++++++++++++++++++

1. Create a user-defined variable of the ^SPX:

set{SPX, ind(^SPX, close)}

2. Use the custom moving average (CMA) function to create 2 moving averages of the SPX:

set{SPXMA12, cma(SPX, 12)}
set{SPXMA26, cma(SPX, 26)}

3. Now simply use the following lines of code to get the relationships you are looking for:

SPX above SPXMA12
SPXMA12 above SPXMA26

So all you need to do is to add the following line to your filter:

set{SPX, ind(^SPX, close)}
set{SPXMA12, cma(SPX, 12)}
set{SPXMA26, cma(SPX, 26)}

SPX above SPXMA12
SPXMA12 above SPXMA26


Now the filter will only return results if the above criteria are met.
