How would you configure a % pullback from a previous high?

i.e todays close is equal to or more than 6% from the previous max high of the last 20 trading days

ive been messing around with different formulas but cant get the wording right

c<=maxh20-(maxh20*0.06)? would this be right

That should work, but you could shorten it a bit.

C <= .94 * MAXH20

Bruce I am actually looking for pull back in  a dollar amount vs percent and just from the most recent pivot high

MAXH5 - C > 2.00

BUT maxh5 ties me to a chart ie Daily or 15m or 5m etc - WHICH IS NOT WHAT I WANT

I just want a 2.00 pull back from the most recent high print on any time frame?

any help or guidance appreciated

Price being at least $2 below the most recent pivot high (checking for 50 bars with a pivot high being defined as a high surrounded by two lower highs on both sides) can be written as follows.

thanks was hoping the 2.00 would be something easitly changed but i see not.

Can you provide the reverse formula for 2.00 move up off the most recent Low Print on any time Frame

Thanks

if i am looking for 1.00 will changiing  C >= 2 to C >= 1 work correctly

on the 50 bars ?  What 50 bars time frame

Bruce on my these with formula i am .44 cents off

i have 1 instance on AAPL on April 3rd

2.92 is the pull back but formula has to be set to C >= 2.55 to show True

and 1 instance on AAPL on April 4th 

2.06 is the pull back but formula has to be set to C >= 1.62  to show True

You seem to have already figured out how to modify the dollar value of the pullback (this has changed to penny value of the pullback in the following formulas).

You also seem to want from the pivot high to the low of the bar and not the close or current price, so please try the following for pullback from pivot high. I have change the C to an L in order to correct for this.

Note that I have adjusted the results in such a way that it rounds to the nearest penny in order to correct from possible rounding issues with the way computers candle floating point values and equality. The value is also is pennies. So $2.00 is 200 and not 2.
