Hi

I am trying to figure out how to write a formula to show that today's gap up is more than 40%   of yesterday range. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

(L-H1) / (H1-L1) > .4

StockGuy's formula defines the gap as between the high of the previous bar and the low of the current bar.

You could use the following insted if you wanted to use the close of the previous bar and the open of the current bar.

O - C1 > .4 * (H1 - L1)

Or the high of the previous bar and the open of the current bar.

O - H1 > .4 * (H1 - L1)
