Please try the following RealCode Condition on a 1, 3, 5 or 15-Minute Chart (you can Drag and Drop it to the Watchlist to use it as a Scan). It uses the Open of the day as the basis of the change. If you wish to use the Close of the previous day instead, change Basis = Price.Open to Basis = Price.Last(1).

Hi
I have tried the scan you built; I am new to Stock Finder and may be doing something I should not be doing or not doing something I should. I am not getting the results I hoped for.
I have tried to scan; U.S. stocks, U.S. Common stocks, and Biotech.
The scan returns; stocks that have not moved from the prior day, and it appears that some stocks are actually lower from the prior day.
Please Help

Try changing:
Basis = Price.Open
To:
Basis = Price.Last(1)

It seems to work as I would interpret your request when the change is made on my computer.

Hi
I ran the revised scan on Biotechnology @ 9:34 and 9:45; No results close to what I am looking for, some stocks moved plus .01-.04 from the prior day, most did not or were down.
What I am looking for; is a scan that will produce a list of stocks that have;
Advanced from the prior day’s close .06 cents or more
Have moved up that .06 or more, within the first 15 minutes of trading
The ability to scan within the 1, 3, 5, or 15 minute intervals that you set is GOOD.
Thanks

It only returns True for nine symbols on my computer when run on US Stocks and none of them are down (ATRN, BOFL, GFLB, HEPH, HMNA, LEI, PTEK, SGRP, ZANE). You may want to try copying and pasting the RealCode again directly from the forums (the following already has Price.Open changed to Price.Last(1) as this would appear to be your intent based on your additional followup posts in this topic):

I deleted the old scan and loaded the scan from you last reply, and will try Monday.
Thanks

I tried the scan this morning on U.S. stocks; at 9:33 am, 9:38am and 9:46 am, I got no discernable data, again some stocks were unchanged from Friday’s close.
I took today off, is it possible for you to call me so we can resolve this?

No, I can't call you. Customer training is only provided in the forums and at our live events. It is not provided via email, chat or phone.
It currently returns True for ten symbols on my computer when run on US Stocks and none of them are unchanged from Friday's close (ANX, CRMH, EFOI, EPCT, FMAR, FNSC, GNBT, GRAN, PXG, TONE).
It should be noted that the 9:45 AM ET Bar must exist for the Rule to return True for the current day and that final results cannot be calculated until the 9:45 AM ET Bar is complete (which makes the 9:33 and 9:38 tests more than a tad bit suspect).
How are you determining if the Rule is returning True? Are you using it as a Scan or Filter or some other method?

Hi
“It currently returns True for ten symbols on my computer when run on US Stocks and none of them are unchanged from Friday's close (ANX, CRMH, EFOI, EPCT, FMAR, FNSC, GNBT, GRAN, PXG, TONE).”
I finally got these results by; following your instructions to change the Bar to 15 minutes from one day
“It should be noted that the 9:45 AM ET Bar must exist for the Rule to return True for the current day and that final results cannot be calculated until the 9:45 AM ET Bar is complete (which makes the 9:33 and 9:38 tests more than a tad bit suspect).”
Per your comments on December 31, 2009
“Please try the following RealCode Condition on a 1, 3, 5 or 15-Minute Chart (you can Drag and Drop it to the Watchlist to use it as a Scan).”
Does your comment of today eliminate the 1, 3, and 5 minute intervals?
“How are you determining if the Rule is returning True? Are you using it as a Scan or Filter or some other method?”
I am using a Filter, with the refresh rate set at manual. Is this correct?
I understand that you cannot call, thank you for your prompt response.
As I am new to Stock Finder; if you can specify the system settings I need, it will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Michael

No. All of these Time Frames have a 9:45 AM ET Bar. This Bar would start forming at 9:44 on the 1-Minute Chart, at 9:42 on a 3-Minute Chart and at 9:40 on a 5-Minute Chart.

That should work just fine. Once it has updated for the day, you should not need to calculate it again.

Hi
The 15 minute scan (9:45) appears to work fine.
When I try the; 1(9:31), 3(9:33), or 5(9:35)minute scan and change the time to the respective 1,3, or 5 minute setting; these scans can take as long as 18-20 minutes to complete, how can we speed this up?
Can you help?
Michael

boston1234,
The reason the 15-Minute scan takes less time is that it requires far fewer bars of data for its calculations. There really isn't anything I can do to make it go more quickly in the other Time Frames as it is already designed to minimize the number of Bars of data used when it is Dragged and Dropped to the Watchlist (to be used as a Sort for example).
