BB width less than 6 per cent of current value of 20 day moving average.
Volume more than 250,000.

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 would depend on the Period and Width of the Bollinger Bands. Assuming the Period of the Bollinger Band is the same we would still need to know the Width setting. For example if the Width was 20, the formula would be:

400 * 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) / AVGC20 <= 6 AND V > 2500

While if the Width was 10, the formula would be:

200 * 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) / AVGC20 <= 6 AND V > 2500

Thanks Bruce.  The BB width is 2 std dev from the 20 day moving average.

Then the first formula provided should be the formula of interest (BB 20,20).
