Hi I am a newbie so please dont laugh to much!

I am tying to create 3 ormula

1) current weeks closing price is higher then the highest price of the proceeding 12 weeks
2) closing price is above the current 40 week MA and the trend of that 40 week MA is upwards
3) Combined

Now Equis have been very helpfull and supplied the following

All these formulas assume you have set the exploration to use weekly data:

1) current weeks closing price is higher then the highest price of the proceeding 12 weeks

Filter
formula:

C > Ref( HHV(H, 12), -1)

2) closing price is above the current 40 week MA and the trend of that 40 week MA is upwards

Filter
formula:

C > Mov(C, 40, S) AND
Roc(Mov(C, 40, S), 1, $)>0

3) combined
Filter
formula:

C > Ref( HHV(H, 12), -1) AND
C > Mov(C, 40, S) AND
Roc(Mov(C, 40, S), 1, $)>0

All good so far the problem I have is that when I set up a new exploration and add the formulare to the filter section and chande the data from daily to weekly in the options it then says it will take over 24hrs to run! Now am I doning somthing wrong here or is this just the reality of the search I want to run? All I need is to compare the the weekly closing price to see if it has closed higher then th e proceeding 12 weeks? and the 40 week MA is moving up ?

Please help !
