Hi,

I try to screen for stocks who move less than x% each day.

I tried the following:
```
CL = Close
CL1 = Close [1]
Perc1 = CL/CL1*100-100 //(I also tried CL1/CL)
Con1 = Perc1 <= 3
SCREENER[Con1]
```
I still get stocks that moved 4% for example,

Thx for the help 🙂

Try this (not tested):
```
CL = Close
CL1 = Close[1]
Perc1 = (((max(CL,CL1)/(min(CL,CL1))*100)-100
Con1 = Perc1 <= 3
SCREENER[Con1]
```

Hi,

First of all, thank you very much.

I tried but I keep getting an error on this line:
```
Perc1 = (((max(CL,CL1)/(min(CL,CL1))*100)-100
```
“Syntx error: line 3, character 43

Please complete the syntax of this line.”

Thx alot.

Sorry – unequal amount of ()

Change it to:
```
Perc1 = ((max(CL,CL1)/min(CL,CL1))*100) -100
```

I think my head has been out in the Greek sun too much! This is the calculation you should be using:
```
Perc1 = ((abs(close-open)/open)*100)
```

```
Perc1 = ((abs(close-open)/open)*100)
```
Doesn’t work.

Shouldn’t I compare the closing of the last two candles?

If you want to include any gaps then just change OPEN to CLOSE[1]
