Hi Bruce,

I'm looking to run intraday scans in v12.3 during the last 30mins of the trading day. If i'm tring to find stocks where the LAST price at the time of the scan (as opposed to the CLOSE price because the market would still be open at the time i am scanning) is within 5% or 1% of the HIGH for the current day. Would i use the PCF's below?

Close in top 5% of Range:

H - C <= (H - L) * .05

Close in top 1% of Range:

H - C <= (H - L) * .01

Thanks in advance.
 

C is just the current price until the market closes, so yes, those PCFs should work just fine. Although they could be shortened to the following for price being in the top 5% of range:

STOC1 >= 95

Or the following for price being in the top 1% of range:

STOC1 >= 99

Understanding Stochastics

Can the formulas above also be used as visual induacstors in the charts?

ty.

If you select Add Indicator and choose Custom PCF % True Indicator from the list, you can use one of the formulas as the Boolean Formula to get a spike on the chart when it is true.

Hey Bruce, 

Can you write me two PCFs?

One that will find the stocks that went up the most within the last year.

and another that will find stocks that went up the most within the last two years.

Thanks on advance.

You can create Indicator Formulas returning the 1-year price percent change in a daily time frame:

100 * (C / C252 - 1)

And use it as a WatchList Column and sort.

Or as an EasyScan Condition.

It is not possible to do the same for 2 years as there are only 500 bars of daily data available. You could however use the same formula with a 2-day time frame to calculate a 2-year price percent change.
