diceman... please note the request is for BackScanner, not TeleChart.

Bob,

You can add the condition Price vs. Price and set the high 0 bars ago is above the high 1 bars ago.

Set this as your buy condition. BackScanner always buys the open AFTER the buy condition is met. You can add a Trade Stop trade length of 1 and it will sell the open of the day after the sell condition is met. You want to be sure to set your BackScanner (in the settings) to favor exits over entries.
