Scan Syntax: Price, Volume, and SCTRs
You can set several price, volume, and SCTR values as filters for your scan. For more information on writing scans using these and other scan clauses, please see our Support Center article on Writing Scans.
High
The largest price value for a security during the period.
Syntax:
high
Operators:
=, !=, >, >=, <=, <, x, is, is not
Example:
[high > 99.9]
Close
The last price value for a security during the period. Note that when the market is open, and an intraday scan is used, the “close” value equals the most recent security price.
Syntax:
close
Operators:
=, !=, >, >=, <=, <, x, is, is not
Example:
[close > 99.9]
Open
The first price value for a security during the period.
Syntax:
open
Operators:
=, !=, >, >=, <=, <, x, is, is not
Example:
[open > 99.9]
Low
The smallest price value for a security during the period.
Syntax:
low
Operators:
=, !=, >, >=, <=, <, x, is, is not
Example:
[low > 99.9]
All Time High
The all-time high value for a security. Note that the example scan clause below will scan for symbols that closed at their all time high. To scan for symbols that recorded a new all-time high at any point during the trading day, use: [all time high = high]
Syntax:
all time high
Operators:
=, !=, >, >=, <=, <, x, is, is not
Example:
[all time high = close]
Volume
The number of shares traded during a specific period.
Syntax:
volume
Operators:
=, !=, >, >=, <=, <, x, is, is not
Example:
[volume > 9,999,999]
Range (High - Low)
The range during a specific period. It's calculated as the value of the high minus low for that period.
Syntax:
range
Operators:
=, !=, >, >=, <=, <, x, is, is not
Example:
[range > 9.99]
Gain
A security's price gain during a specific period or the value of the close minus the open.
Syntax:
gain
Operators:
=, !=, >, >=, <=, <, x, is, is not
Example:
[gain > 9.99]
AbsGain
The absolute value of the gain for a security during a specific period, or the value of the close minus the open. This represents the size of the candle body for the particular security.
Syntax:
AbsGain
Operators:
=, !=, >, >=, <=, <, x, is, is not
Example:
[AbsGain > 9.99]
Liquidity
The liquidity for a security during a specific period, calculated as the value of close multiplied by the volume.
Syntax:
liquidity
Operators:
=, !=, >, >=, <=, <, x, is, is not
Example:
[liquidity > 9,999,999]
SCTR
The SCTR value for a security during a specific period. This finds securities with the requested SCTR value, regardless of the SCTR's universe.
Syntax:
SCTR
Operators:
=, !=, >, >=, <=, <, x, is, is not
Example:
[SCTR > 90]
SCTR.large
The SCTR value for a large-cap US stock during the time period. This finds securities with the requested SCTR value from within the Large-Cap SCTR Universe.
Syntax:
SCTR.large
Operators:
=, !=, >, >=, <=, <, x, is, is not
Example:
[SCTR.large > 90]
SCTR.mid
The SCTR value for a mid-cap US stock during the time period. This finds securities with the requested SCTR value from within the Mid-Cap SCTR Universe.
Syntax:
SCTR.mid
Operators:
=, !=, >, >=, <=, <, x, is, is not
Example:
[SCTR.mid > 90]
SCTR.small
The SCTR value for a small-cap US stock during the time period. This finds securities with the requested SCTR value from within the Small-Cap SCTR Universe.
Syntax:
SCTR.small
Operators:
=, !=, >, >=, <=, <, x, is, is not
Example:
[SCTR.small > 90]
SCTR.us.etf
The SCTR value for a US-listed ETF during the time period. This finds securities with the requested SCTR value from within the ETF SCTR Universe.
Syntax:
SCTR.us.etf
Operators:
=, !=, >, >=, <=, <, x, is, is not
Example:
[SCTR.us.etf > 90]
SCTR.tsx
The SCTR value for a TSX-listed security during the time period. This finds Canadian securities with the requested SCTR value from within the TSX SCTR Universe.
Syntax:
SCTR.tsx
Operators:
=, !=, >, >=, <=, <, x, is, is not
Example:
[SCTR.tsx > 90]
SCTR.lse
The SCTR value for an LSE-listed security during the time period. This finds London securities with the requested SCTR value from within the LSE SCTR Universe.
Syntax:
SCTR.lse
Operators:
=, !=, >, >=, <=, <, x, is, is not
Example:
[SCTR.lse > 90]
SCTR.nse
