Can somoene help me write this?

 

I want to add a column for gappers with the following parameters so it will give me a check mark if it meets these conditrions:

 

1. The stock must gap up or down a minimum of $0.20

2. The gap must be less than 85% of yesterdays range

3. The gap must be greater than 15% of yesterdays range

 

I'm not good at programming so I am not sure if this is possible.

 

 

 

 

 

Every morning I want to check the SPY

Since you want both directions with the additional parameters, you'll need two separate formulas:

Gap Up

L > H1 and L - H1 > .20 and (L - H1) / (H1-L1) < .85 and (L - H1) / (H1-L1) > .15

Gap Down

H < L1 and L1- H > .20 and (L1- H) / (H1-L1) < .85 and (L1- H) / (H1-L1) > .15
