Moving average fan

in Scanning
Hi,
I am trying to do a moving average fan and it does not seem to be working.

[type is stock]
and [country is CANADA]
AND [today's sma(3,close)>today's sma(6,close)>today's sma(18,close)>today's sma(50,close)>today's sma(100,close)>today's sma(200,close)]

Syntax seems to be OK

I keep getting this message: The Scan Engine is taking too long to return your results. Please try again later.

My other scans are returning results.

Is there another way to portray this scan?

Thanks.

    Although the syntax checker is pretty good, it doesn't catch everything. I don't think you can have more than one comparison operator ( > ) within one pair of brackets [ ]. You could try re-writing the scan with a separate line for for every pair. So,

    and [sma(3, close) > sma(6, close)]
    and [sma(6, close) > sma(18, close)]
    ... etc.
