Add a 1 period envelope channel to the VWAP with the Width (%) setting set to 15.00.

Add a 1 period envelope channel to the VWAP with the Width (%) setting set to 20.00.

Click on price and select Create Condition (or Create Scan Condition) to create a condition for price below the 1st envelope channel. Choose to create a new scan when this is done.

Repeat but create the condition for price being above the second envelope channel. Choose to add the new condition to the scan you created earlier.

As far as scanning for stocks trading at the VWAP, I am going to assume that means the VWAP intersects the price bar.

Add 1 period simple moving average with Average of set to High.

Add 1 period simple moving average with Average of set to Low.

Then click on the VWAP indicator and select Create Condition (or Create Scan Condition) to create a condition for the VWAP being below the 1st moving average. Choose create a new can when this is done.

Repeat, but create the condition for for VWAP being above the second moving average. Choose to add the new condition to the scan you just created.
