How to code with Variation(price)

  I have a screener I’m working on and I would like a condition to isolate stocks that have risen by 5% or more.

  Reading the manual I see “variation(price)”

  Could someone help me with the syntax I need to include this condition in my screener?

  Many thanks.

  You can test this code:

  screener [variation(close)>5]

  1	screener [variation(close)>5]

  It will return all stocks that have moved at least 5% since the last period (the day before in a daily timeframe for instance).

  Thanks Nicolas,

  That worked – I wasn’t sure of how to represent 5% in the code syntax.

  Hello Nicolas

  I am still working on my screener, and I want to filter with the variation between the close of last day and the close of last candle (in timeframe 1m for ex)
  Do I have to use “variation” ? How can I use it ?

  Merci
