Thanks Bruce.  The information provided in the attached video you sent,  gave me the answer I needed to create the scans I was trying to build.  Much appreciated !

....with my prior post, I meant to say popping in price, but I would like to scan for a volume spike as well as the price spike

Thanks Bruce.  Ok so now I have the start of my scan, with today's opening being higher than yeasterday's close. Would I be correct in saying that using o>c1 as a first condition, and then % change since the open set as say 90% would give the top 10% of price jumpers, as a 2nd condition,  And then include with that today's volume surge set high would be a good indication of intial movers .  Changing that intial time period to say one or two minutues would show poppers during the day. Or am I off on that?

Basically I'm trying to scan for any stock that is jumping up at any particular point in time from the open throughout the day, as often as the scn is run.

Hi. I am trying to create a scan that would look for stocks that are popping, even in the pre market, but definitely identify stocks that have popped up in the opening ticks, and minutes.  I have experimented with Open and Close changing time periods to minutes and nothing seems to be working.  I have tried things as simple as  c>c1 on a one minute chart, or O>O1 which makes sense to me but the scans are not working to my expectations. Any ideas?
