 I am interested in finding gaps that are greater than the "Gap Up/Down" scan that already exists. It will pass if the difference is $0.01. I am looking for bigger gaps than that, say 2% or greater. Does one exist or can it be created?

 Just read some of the other posts and you need more info to answer intelligently. I am using end of day data so the "opening/morning gap" scans that already exist won't do me any good. So to be clear, on the upside gap, I want the low of day two to be higher than the high of day one by a good margin. The reverse for a downside gap.

 Please try one of the following RealCode Conditions. The margin is a UserInput and can be adjusted by by the user by Editing the Condition without Editing the RealCode.
