Hey Pete, I’m looking for a scan that can search for a stock’s close within 20% of the previous candle’s high. We can use the daily candle as a timeframe. It’d be searching for stocks closing 20% above or 20% below the previous candle’s high. Thank you for your time sir.

Perhaps you can try something like this to get the close above prior day's high by 20%:

input percent = 1.2;
input length = 1;
def closeAbovePriorHigh = close > (high[length] * percent);
plot scan = closeAbovePriorHigh;

Results as of 8/13 for stocks above $10

Peter may have a better solution.

Hey thanks man but I’m looking for close within 20%. So the close would need to be no greater than 20% of previous high and no less then 20% of the previous high.

I drew an example on ms paint of what I'm trying to say: https://m.imgur.com/6VMy00X Price = previous day's high and 20% max = current day's close

I think this will do the trick. I haven't tested it so let us know if it doesn't do exactly what you requested. I included user inputs so you can adjust the percent threshold as well as the target price without modifying the code.

input percentThreshold = 20.0;
input targetPrice = high;
def highLimit = targetPrice[1] * (1 + percentThreshold * 0.01);
def lowLimit = targetPrice[1] * (1 - percentThreshold * 0.01);
plot scan = close < highLimit and close > lowLimit;
