Can we creat a scan where yesterdays volume was 3x the average volume and today the stock's first 5min cundle is red (doesn't matter if it gapped down or oppened flat)?

This action shows emotional profit taking at the open and a potential red/green move for continuation

It is not possible to create a scan for this as there is no way to determine if the first intraday bar of the day is red in the Personal Criteria Formula Language.

We can check for the rest of the requirements using a Daily Condition Formula. For example, if we use a period of 21 to calculate the average volume:

V >= 3 * AVGV21 AND C > C1
