Looking for pcf scan to write for a stock that has broken up and above its upper bollinger band.  Ideally if I could find a scan where the candle is completely out of the band would be great. If not just a strong break of the upper band.

Welcome to the forums. A very good foundation for learning how to use TeleChart can be gained by reviewing the following:

If you are new to TeleChart READ THIS FIRST!

The formula will depend on your exact Bollinger Band settings. For a Bollinger Band 20,20, you could try using the following Personal Criteria Formula as an EasyScan Condition:

L > AVGC20 + 2 * SQR(ABS(C ^ 2 + C1 ^ 2 + C2 ^ 2 + C3 ^ 2 + C4 ^ 2 + C5 ^ 2 + C6 ^ 2 + C7 ^ 2 + C8 ^ 2 + C9 ^ 2 + C10 ^ 2 + C11 ^ 2 + C12 ^ 2 + C13 ^ 2 + C14 ^ 2 + C15 ^ 2 + C16 ^ 2 + C17 ^ 2 + C18 ^ 2 + C19 ^ 2 - 20 * AVGC20 ^ 2) / 19)
