Hi

If the current price is the highest from today, I won’t enter into a trade. It is too expensive for me, so I always make sure it is not the most expensive price.

With Thinkorswim, How can I find stocks whose last price is less than the highest price for the day?

I don't think you really thought this through. You are asking for a scan that finds stocks currently trading below the session high. This is going to return almost the entire list of stocks included in you scan.

Go ahead and re-read your specification:

How can I find stocks whose last price is less than the highest price for the day?

So you want a scan that returns a list of stocks which are currently trading at least 1 penny below the current day's session high. Nearly every single stock in the market is going to be picked up.

Nevertheless, here is the scan you requested:

plot scan = close < high;

You will apply this code to a Study Filter that is set to Daily time frame.

I just ran this scan myself. Out of a total of 9,023 stocks going into the scan, I found a total of 7,521 stocks were returned (meeting your criteria). Completely useless.

I appreciate your quick response. I'm sorry I wasn't clear enough - During the day a stock can have a lot of prices, let's say one of the highest prices was $100.00 during the day, but the current price is $105.00. Such a stock I don't need - the price was never so high today, so far the highest price was $100.00. Therefore I need to find the past highest price ($100.00) and compare it with the current price, in order to see if the current price is high in comparison. I hope this makes more sense now.

There are lot more details to this than you realize. Far too complicated to hash this out in the comments section of a Q&A Forum. If you are not looking for stocks that are trading a penny or more below the session high than you have many other elements and variables you need to include before you can even attempt to build a solution that achieves your goals.
