Would you be able to suggest a scan that would show stocks that made "inside bars" on the daily chart. So that today's price action did not take out the highs or lows from the prior day's range.

Thank you

You can scan for that with a custom condition using the formula:

H1 > H and L1 < L

Yes, in TC2000 version 12, you can set the Time Frame of a Condition Formula when you create it, edit it or use it a WatchList Column or Scan Condition.

L2 < L1 AND H1 < H2

An example would be CNX today on the 15min time frame. It would alert when bar 2 closed.Thanks

The formula given in my post would return True for the third 15-minute bar of CNX on January 13, 2012 (so when the second 15-minute bar closed).
