I want to set up a PCF that will find stocks with volatility for the previous day not greater than 2%.  

 

So if stock XYZ closed at $15.50 and was also the high.  So I want the low to be no lower than $15.19.

 

This is what I came up with

 

(H1-C1)<=.02 
 
and if I wanted to scan for intraday volatility no greater than 2% for the past three days I came up with this
 
(H1-C1)<=.02 and (H2-C2)<=.02 and (H3-C3)<=.02
 
 
Yes? No?  Maybe you have something better?
 
Thanks.
Dan

Try this:

(H1-L1) / C1 <= .02 and (H2-L2) / C2 <= .02 and (H3-L3) / C3 <= .02

I don't know why I was thinking high - close.  That doesn't even make any sense.
