I trade day to day the top percent gainers for the day. Specifically low float small cap stocks and I'm looking for a PCF formula to display % Gainers above 10%. I can't find any conditions to match this. The only thing i found was % Change from the open but not from yesterdays close.

 

Also If anyone can help out I'm trying to do the same pre market I need a PCF to mention  Gaps above 3 %

The Todays % WatchList Column is the price percent change between the previous close and the current price.

You can also add a Rate of Change Percent indicator to a daily chart with the period set to 1. You can then click on it and select Create Scan Condition to create conditions based on this rate of change and create an EasyScan based on your new condition.

A Condition Formula for the 1 period price percent change being greater than 10% can be written as follows.

C > 1.1 * C1

A Condition Formula for the open of the current bar being greater than 3% above the close of the previous bar can be written as follows.

O > 1.03 * C1

Also just to add is there a feature on the platform to filter stocks out that moved .50 or more in range?

The following would only return true for stocks with a range of less than $0.50 for the current bar.

H - L < .5

And the following would only return true for stocks with a true range of less tha $0.50 for the current bar in v17.

GREATEST(H, C1) - LEAST(L, C1) < .5

This formula is a little more complicated for earlier versions of TC2000.

(H - L + ABS(H - C1) + ABS(C1 - L)) / 2 < .5
