1. Weekly data
2. The 26 week moving average is > the 26 week moving average of the previous week
3. The close >5
4. Weekly volume > 750,000

For an indicator you might try:

a1:=Mov(C,26,S)>Ref(Mov(C,26,S),-1);
a2:=C>5;
a3:=V>750000;
a4:=a1*a2*a3;
a4

Use weekly data in options. The indicator will be 1 if a1,a2,a3 are all true.

John...would the indicator option you provided allow me to do a search? If yes, how do I use it?

Plot it on a chart, then scroll through several to see if the indicator needs changing.
If not then you can create a new exploration with the indicator=1 as the filter.
Look at some existing explorations to get an idea of how to do it.

John...thanks for the help...I see what you are doing and it makes sense...One mistake I made in my question that I still need help with is I meant to use a 26 week EMA (not a 26 week MOV)...I'm surprise that EMA isn't one of the available indicators.

I figured it out! To find when the EMA is rising I needed:
Mov(C,26,E)>Ref(Mov(C,26,E),-1)
