  It should look like this:

  percent = abs(close-average[20])/close*100 return percent

  1 2 3

  percent = abs(close-average[20])/close*100   return percent

  It says return can only be used in trading systems. Can you help me build the screener?

  Yes, please find below the screener of your request:

  percent = abs(close-average[20])/close*100>=1 screener [percent]

  1 2 3

  percent = abs(close-average[20])/close*100>=1   screener [percent]

  It will detect and sort out all shares with Close more or equal to 1% from the moving average 20 periods.

  I nearly always want to see the ‘value’ on a Screener, so if you add / amend as below then you can see what the percentage from MA is.

  percent = abs(close-average[20])/close*100>=1 screener [percent] (abs(close-average[20])/close*100 as "percent from MA")

  1 2 3

  percent = abs(close-average[20])/close*100>=1   screener [percent]  (abs(close-average[20])/close*100 as "percent from MA")
