Hi Bruce,

If I want to know stocks gapped up from yesterday's  close to today's open >5%, what should be the formula for condition?

Thanks

Thanks for that reply. If I want to show gap as value in a column, how to write the formula?

To show a percentage use (O/C1 -1) * 100

Hi,

If I want stocks that are gapped up 0.50 cents since yesterday's close to today's open, can that be written as formula for scan?

Thanks

Hi,

I am thinking of this

 

(C - L1)>0.50

Is it right?

Thanks

Your formula is comparing the current price to the previous low. If you want to compare the current open to the previous close, please try the following instead.

O >= C1 + .5
