How could I scan for stocks that are in a 30% range of their yearly (252 days) low but are also up at least 5% for the month? Thanks!

There is already a built in filter for the first part. It’s called ”Near_High_Lows”. For the second part of your scan, there is also a built in filter called ”Price_Chage”. Whether your not it will work in your case depends on how would you define ”Up 5% for the month”. Is that from low to high of current month? Open to close of current month? Low of previous month to high of current month? Close of previous month to close of current month? One of the many other combinations?

Open to close of the current month

Ok, this is also available as a built in filter criteria. It is named ”% Change”. So there is no need for any custom Thinkscript to build and run this scan. Everything is already built into the standard tools.
