My Universe with room to grow scan

I have a scan in TC2000 that I would like to convert to Stockfetcher code.

It finds Optionable stocks priced between $9.84 and $49.90 with average volume over 1mm shares. Average true range 5 days is > 5% price and where price change for the past 5 days is between -2 and +3%. Price is off the high of the last 40 days of $7.50 or more. Price is greater than 20 day MA.

I have attempted to upload my first screen shot below.

Thanks for your assistance.

Jalabuda:
"where price change for the past 5 days is between -2 and +3%. "
==================================================================

Does this mean you want stocks that are EITHER down not more than 2% or up not more than 3% ... ???

Yes - I do not want stocks that have increased too much or fallen too much. They are more of a consollidation phase with upside potential.

Chetron:

Thanks for the filter! The closing price change over the past 5 days should be bewteen -2% and +3% showing some consolidation before a breakout. We want the ATR to be high as the stock will likely move up faster than a stock with a low ATR.

Chetron:

You are correct - the TC2K filter range is -2.158271% to +3.020309% over the past 5 days. I believe that the Price change from the last 5 days is not greater than +3.020309% nor greater than -2.158271%
I was rounding in my post for expediency. The exact number of decimal place accuracy is not significant.

The purpose of the scan is to develop a watch list for the next day's trading and trade the breakouts that occur within the next day or two.
