Percentage of candle outside bollinger

[J Webster]

Is there a way we could calculate the percentage of a candle outside a bollinger band?

For example, an upper bollinger band is at 1.5000 and a candle moves outside of this value to a high of 1.5020 and the low was 1.4990.

Do we just calculate the height of the candle and how much of this is above the bollinger?

double BollValueUpper = iBands(NULL,0,20,2,0,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_UPPER,0);
double BollValueLower = iBands(NULL,0,20,2,0,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_LOWER,0);
double CandleHeight = MathAbs(High[0] - Low[0]);
if (Bid>BollValueUpper) {CandlePercentage = (High[0]-BollValueUpper/CandleHeight)*100;}
if (Bid<BollValueLower) {CandlePercentage = (BollValueLower-Low[0]/CandleHeight)*100;}
Comment ("Current candle % +/- to band " + DoubleToStr(CandlePercentage,2));

If I wanted to also calculate this for the previous candle, do I have to add a bollinger buffer?

I am getting some weird values for the candlepercentage in this code?????

double BollValueUpper ;
double BollValueLower ;
if (Period() == PERIOD_H1) {
BollValueUpper = iBands(NULL,PERIOD_H1,20,2,0,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_UPPER,0);
BollValueLower = iBands(NULL,PERIOD_H1,20,2,0,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_LOWER,0);
}
if (Period() == PERIOD_M15) {
BollValueUpper = iBands(NULL,PERIOD_M15,20,2,0,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_UPPER,0);
BollValueLower = iBands(NULL,PERIOD_M15,20,2,0,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_LOWER,0);
}

double CandleHeight = MathAbs(High[0] - Low[0]);
if (High[0]>BollValueUpper) {CandlePercentage = (High[0]-BollValueUpper/CandleHeight)*100;}
if (Low[0]<BollValueLower) {CandlePercentage = (BollValueLower-Low[0]/CandleHeight)*100;}
Comment ("High="+DoubleToStr(High[0],5)+
         "\nHigh-Boll="+DoubleToStr(High[0]-BollValueUpper,5)+
         "\nCandle height: "+DoubleToStr(CandleHeight,5)+
         "\nCurrent candle % outside band " + DoubleToStr(CandlePercentage,2));
}
