Check if a high was broken and if it was broken before

  Hello!

  I made a simple screener showing me stocks which broke yesterday’s high. Let’s say I use this screener at 18:00 and I see some stocks. Some of them already broke yesterday’s high minutes or hours before. But I only want to see stocks which broke yesterday’s high the first time today. Is it possible to check if all previous candles today were below yesterday’s high?

  I thought about doing a loop and check if all highs were below yesterday’s high but maybe there is a more efficient way to do?

  This is my simple code so far:

  timeframe(15 minutes) highbreak=high[1]>dhigh(1) SCREENER [highbreak]

  1 2 3

  timeframe(15 minutes) highbreak=high[1]>dhigh(1) SCREENER [highbreak]

  Any help is appreciated!

  Just read something.. would this be correct? I can’t test it right now. Therefore I ask.

  timeframe(15 minutes) highbreak=high[1]>dhigh(1) and highest[intradaybarindex-2](high)<dhigh(1) SCREENER [highbreak]

  1 2 3

  timeframe(15 minutes) highbreak=high[1]>dhigh(1) and highest[intradaybarindex-2](high)<dhigh(1) SCREENER [highbreak]

  Seems ok to me. But you should add a test to verify the highest period is superior to 0, otherwise the screener will be stuck:

  timeframe(15 minutes) highbreak=high[1]>dhigh(1) and highest[max(1,intradaybarindex-2)](high)<dhigh(1) SCREENER [highbreak]

  1 2 3

  timeframe(15 minutes) highbreak=high[1]>dhigh(1) and highest[max(1,intradaybarindex-2)](high)<dhigh(1) SCREENER [highbreak]
