HMNY -- best short trade from my Short Easy Scan today.

What I would like now, using a daily timeframe is...

in percentage terms Yesterday's Low near to (or equal to) a today's High.

How far yesterday's low is above or below today's high as a percentage of today's high.

100 * (L1 / H - 1)

How far yesterday's low is above or below today's high as a percentage of the two day range.

100 * (L1 - H) / (MAXH2 - MINL2)

The 1 minute below works fine for aiding in decision for short trades.

100 * (L1 / H - 1)

Now let's look at long trades taking TWTR as an example.

Yesterdays High was $17.78.  Today's Low was $17.73.  
So, the H1 is veryclose to the L1.

Please provide a similar PCF Indicator to the above for longs.

I really have no idea what you want.

You mention H1 as being very close to L1. Comparing those would just involve replacing H with H1.

100 * (L1 / H1 - 1)

But you also seem to want to reverse the original "short" formula into a "long" formula, which I am guessing would be more like the following.

100 * (H1 / L - 1)

With your math, I was able to tweek these PCF Indicators to my criteria.  Thanks, again.
