Hi, could you help me with a PCF to measure intraday range defined as low to high. At the end of each trading day I would like to rank all stocks by % intraday range as defined from low to high.

thanks,
Paul

I don't know what % intraday range as defined from low to high means. If you want the Range as a Percent of the Low, you could use the following Personal Criteria Formula:

100 * (H / L - 1)

If you want the Range as a Percent of the High, you could use the following PCF instead:

100 * (1- L / H)

For example, if a stock had as its low for the day $100  and its high $110 the range would be 10%.  I would like to be able to sort stocks by that measure.   So for example if another  a stock had its low at $100 and its high at $112 that stock would be ranked higher then the first stock.

thanks

Then you want the former of the solutions already provided:

100 * (H / L - 1)
