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 .

High

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.

Example:

  • [open > 99.9]

Low

The smallest price value for a security during the period.

  • 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:

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)

Gain

A security's price gain during a specific period or the value of the close minus the open.

Syntax:

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.
