When using a chart set on the logarithmic scale , the percentage distance between horizontal grid lines appears in red on the lower right hnd corner of the chart.
How can one include this percentage figure in Easyscans

Thank you for your help

That value will change with different stocks.

Its showing how much the chart has to adjust to fit price movement on the screen.

However you can include price percent changes for different periods of time in your scans.

Thanks

This number will be different for every stock but, more importantly, it will be different for every zoom level you have you chart set to.

What you are really looking for is a measure of the volatility of the stock.

Try sorting any WatchList by this PCF in descending order. See if it finds what you want.

Trend/Consolidate 3-yr
100*(MAXH750-MINL750)/(AVGH750-AVGL750)

Try my solution above OR I can try putting something together based on a specific zoom level.

hiltonll,
Please try the following (Daily/Zoom 6):

100 * (MAXH67 / MINL67) ^ (1 / 12) - 100
