    Hi,

    I try to screen for stocks who move less than x% each day.

    I tried the following:

    CL = Close
CL1 = Close [1]
Perc1 = CL/CL1*100-100 //(I also tried CL1/CL)
Con1 = Perc1 <= 3
SCREENER[Con1]

     

    I still get stocks that moved 4% for example,

    Thx for the help 🙂

    Try this (not tested):

    CL = Close
CL1 = Close[1]
Perc1 = (((max(CL,CL1)/(min(CL,CL1))*100)-100
Con1 = Perc1 <= 3
SCREENER[Con1]

    Hi,

    First of all, thank you very much.

    I tried but I keep getting an error on this line:

    Perc1 = (((max(CL,CL1)/(min(CL,CL1))*100)-100

    “Syntx error: line 3, character 43

    Please complete the syntax of this line.”

    Thx alot.

    Sorry – unequal amount of ()

    Change it to:

    Perc1 = ((max(CL,CL1)/min(CL,CL1))*100) -100

    I think my head has been out in the Greek sun too much! This is the calculation you should be using:

    Perc1 = ((abs(close-open)/open)*100)

    Doesn’t work.

    Shouldn’t I compare the closing of the last two candles?

    If you want to include any gaps then just change OPEN to CLOSE[1]
