Pull back between X% and Y%

  Hi all – can you please help… I am wanting to scan for pull backs between min 6% and max 20% of the high of the last 50 days of trading…

  I have alot of other criteria which ensures it is in an up trend – but the pull back criteria is not working

  I tried below with a bit of tinkering but no luck:

  c10 = close<0.94*highest[50](close)    ( i assumed this might be minimum 6% pull back from 50 day highs)
  c11 = close>0.80*highest[50](close)    ( i assumed this might be maximin 20% pull back from 50 day highs)

  Help would be very appreciated thanks

  Hello,

  I would say highest[50](high) instead of highest[50](close).

  Why do you say it doesn’t work? Any errors?

  Yes, replace (close) with (high).
