scanning using bollinger bands and price relative
how can I scan for stocks that are on the low side of the Bollinger band or below it and not higher than the middle of the band?
How can I scan for stocks that are showing positive relative strength related to the benchmark? i.e. can i write something like the following line to achieve this? i tried a few things but nothing seems to be working. Thanks

The CTM or Chande Trend Meter combines the BB position in various periods as well as a couple other technical indicators to assign a score for the indicator.

PctRelative is pretty straightforward.

They haven't done a ChartSchool article on PctRelative yet, but do mention it in a Support Article
