Price within X percent of 200sma?

So I am working on a project where I need to add a custom study in my scan that will scan for stocks that have closes within (whatever %) of the 200sma.

I've tried to write it out visually here for those who want to see it

Close is within 10% of SimpleMovingAvg("length") = 200)."SMA"

I use a chart label but you can turn it into a scan

AddLabel(yes, AsPercent((close - sma200) / sma200), if close > sma200 then color.green else color.red);

How would I turn it into a scan where I can look for stocks that are within 10% of it

define it as a variable

I have literally no coding experience, would you mind posting it here?

I didn't have coding experience either. I'm trying to help you learn.

Come on, Please? Or a scan that scans for wicks rejecting the 200sma

AddLabel(yes, AsPercent((close - sma200) / sma200), if close > sma200 then color.green else color.red);

Code

input price = close;
input length = 200;

def sma = Average(price, length);
def sma_scan_value = ((close - sma) / sma);

Your scan criteria would then be sma_scan_value = .1

I recommend making a set of criteria. <=.1 and >.15 or whatever so you have a range otherswise you'll only get stocks when they hit the absolute value of 10%.

Appreciate it, working on making the criteria now. That's hard. I'm getting an "at least one plot should be defined" error

I've also thought about it, How can I make it so that the scan shows when the 200sma is within X percent of Ichimoku()."Span A" then that'd be perfect
