zoudaodi,

what are you trying to scan for exactly and what is "ma" in your code?

This code should get you going. It will return +1 if all averages are at the same price and 0 if they are not.
However I believe you are checking for a very rare case, because the values would have to be the same up to the last decimal space. You are probably better off checking for the averages being the same or very close to each other.

Code

def ma20 = average(close ,20);
def ma5 = average(close ,5);
def ma10 = average(close,10);

plot scan = If(ma20 == ma5 and ma5 == ma10 , 1, 0);
