Here's one way:

[group is sp500]
and [close > 21 days ago close * 1.1]

the "21 days ago" is a month in trading days
the "1.1" is the close 21 days ago (the "1"), plus 10 per cent (the " .1")

In addition to Markd's code you could also use the percent change or rate of change functions. Again 21 tradings days is about a month, (varies with holidays).

PctChange(nPeriods,exp)
Returns the percentage change in value over nPeriods for the expression.
nPeriods - Number of periods
exp - expression
[PctChange (21,close) > 10]

ROC(nPeriods, exp)
The value of the Rate of Change (ROC) indicator.
nPeriods: The number of periods used in the computation
exp - expression
[ROC(21,close) > 10]
