//  This is the Dave Landry PullBack Scan as developed by him and taken from
//  his two books, "Dave Landry On Swing Trading" and "Dave Landry's 10 Best
//  Swing Trading Patterns And Strategies". The scan searches for stocks making
//  a pullback from their most recent 20 day highs or 20 day lows. This is best
//  used as an Exploration, all the ColumnNames can be seen and used as
//  filters. Drop the "Tools" drop down menu in the Formula Editor containing
//  this code and toggle the "Apply Indicator" to get the chart layout
//  displayed.
