 This cant be done in telechart.

52 Week highs are basically:

C>MAXH250.1

(the close is > the highest high for 250 bars (1 year) yesterday)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The best you can do is extend the range:

C>MAXH500.1 (2 YEARS)

C>MAXH750.1 (3 YEARS)

and so on

Thanks

 The PCF language requires us to define the number of days looked at. We cannot look for an all-time high in a stock because most stocks have a variable number of days of trading.

One solution:

Go to ALL STOCKS, change your chart to a Quarterly chart and zoom all the way out (zoom 1 - hold down SHIFT then press 1).

You can now sort on the price plot (right click on the words PRICE CHART and choose SORT BY). It will rank ALL STOCKS by how close their close is to their ALL TIME high.

Here is a video to review: Sort by Visual Value to find new highs and lows in price and indicators

 Diceman has given you PCFs which, once created, can be added to EasyScans.

Please review these two videos:
