Please try using the following condition formula as an EasyScan Condition.

C > MAXH5.1

You could check for Bollinger Bandwidth being less than .06.

4 * STDDEV20 < .06 * AVGC20

You could check for simple Bollinger Bands being narrower than simple Keltner Channels.

4 * STDDEV20 < 3 * ATR20

You could check for Bollinger Bandwidth getting narrower.

STDDEV20 < STDDEV20.1

You check for Bollinger Bandwidth being at its lowest point in say 50 bars.

STDDEV20 = MIN(STDDEV20, 50)

I am sure there are probably lots of other Bollinger related ways to check for this.

Correction on the request for a scan.

The volume criteria for the billion was to be 3.5 billion

Thanks....Junia Barber

You can do most if this in a Personal Criteria Formula.

AVGV21 >= 100000 AND 5 <= C AND C <= 30 AND STOC12.3 < 25 AND C1 < O1 AND .7 * (H - L) <= C - O AND O1 < C AND O < C1 AND 1.2 * (AVGH10-AVGL10) <= H - L

Boolean PCFs for Candlestick Patterns

But you will need to select Add Condition in your EasyScan for the Market Capitalization requirement.

And I don't know what sort of condition you want to create with the moving averages.
