Never mind. The problem seems to be that i dont have real time data on NYSE stocks.

Now I need help how to to delete my post/thread instead 🙂

I’m still having problems with my code Robert. Do you have minute to assist me on this? 🙂

I want to screen for a small price move yesterday (yesterday’s high – yesterday’s open = ±3%) and a bigger move today (>5% move). This screener gives me a few good cases, but it also gives me a couple that are completely wrong. The wrong cases had a downward price move of more than 6% yesterday.

This time I know the screener has access to real time data.

c1 = (((close - close[1])/close[1]) * 100) > 5 and volume>volume[1] and average[10](volume) > 200000

c2 = abs((((high[1] - open[1])/open[1]) * 100)) < 3


SCREENER[c1 and c2]

c1=Close[1]>Open[1] and (High[1]-Open[1])/Open[1]*100>2.5 and (High[1]-Open[1])/Open[1]*100<3.5

Thanks for your reply. Though Im pretty sure this is not what i want to scan for.

To me it doesnt matter if yesterdays move is up or down. I simply want to know if yesterdays move was a tight candle/narrow candle. And todays move is big/wide spread candle. See picture.

c2 = abs((((high[1] - open[1])/open[1]) * 100)) < 3

To my understanding c2 in my code above should give me:

absolute value of ( ( yesterdays high – yesterdays low ) in percent )   < 3 percent

But its only accurate in 50 or 60% of the cases. Why its not completely accurate I dont understand.
