 One idea would just be to check the Range. For example, the 5-Period Simple Moving Average of Range would be:

AVGH5 - AVGL5

If you wanted that to be at least $2, you could write:

AVGH5 - AVGL5 >= 2

If you wanted that Range expressed as a Percentage of the Average Closing Price over the same Period you could write:

100 * (AVGH5 - AVGL5) / AVGC5

If you wanted that to be at least 2% you could write:

100 * (AVGH5 - AVGL5) / AVGC5 >= 2
