Can a PCF for price change intraday be written for either Telechart or Blocks? I am not looking for the usual C - C1 pcf, but one that gives me the actual change between C and the last price at the moment of running the scan.

Easy Scans in TeleChart are always done on the 20 minute delay data even if you have Platinum (real time) service. However, if you do have Platinum service you can create a custom indicator that gives Real Time results.
Create a custom indicator using this PCF: ((C - C1) / C1) * 100 (you'll need to create the PCF first).
(To review how to create a PCF click here. To review how to create a custom indicator click here).
Use a daily chart setting in TC. This custom indicator will now operate off your real time data...updating price percent change to the Close (last)--which in this case is the real time last--compared to the Close yesterday.
Once you've done this, you can sort by the indicator in Real Time.

Remember, however, if you change your chart to an intraday time frame, it will consider the close of the last bar (instead of the close yesterday) when calculating the percent change.
