I’m looking to write up a scan that has the following criteria:
 
Stock price range = $1-$10
Open price Gaps up or down from previous close = +/- .30
When the stock retraces back to near the previous day close by .20, I want to be alerted.
 
For example:
 
ABC closes at $8 on Monday
On Tuesday, it opens up at $8.50.
I want to be alerted when the stock comes down to $8.20
 
Is there anyway to write a scan like this?
 
I also have some other price parameters that are needed 
 

Price Range | Initial Gap from Previous Close Price | Alert Distance from Previous Closing Range

1-10 +/- .30 .20

 

10-20 +/- .60 .30

 

20-35 +/- 1.00 .40

 

35-70 +/- 1.20 .50

 

70+ +/- 1.50 .50

Your initial $1-10 Condition Formula can be written as follows.

1 <= C AND C <= 10 AND ABS(O - C1) >= .3 AND ABS(C - C1) <= .2

The $10-20 version can be written as follows.

10 <= C AND C <= 20 AND ABS(O - C1) >= .6 AND ABS(C - C1) <= .3

The $20-35 version can be written as follows.

20 <= C AND C <= 35 AND ABS(O - C1) >= 1 AND ABS(C - C1) <= .4

The $35-70 version can be written as follows.

35 <= C AND C <= 70 AND ABS(O - C1) >= 1.2 AND ABS(C - C1) <= .5

The $70+ version can be written as follows.

70 <= C AND ABS(O - C1) >= 1.5 AND ABS(C - C1) <= .5
