  Hello, I tried for days to make a scan for the absolute daily open  minus the close in proscreener.  Preferable combined with 1) a certain maximum outcome and 2) sorted from small to big . However the outcome is not right, when i compare in my charts. I tried:

  Screener[c1] c1 = (abs(open[1] - close[1]))< (open[1]/10000) Timeframe(daily)

  1 2 3

  Screener[c1] c1 = (abs(open[1] - close[1]))< (open[1]/10000) Timeframe(daily)

  Anybody able to help/ redirect me?

  Hello odlareg, I don’t know why but all your code is inverted, you should have wrote your screener code like this:

  c1 = (abs(open[1] - close[1]))< (open[1]/10000) Timeframe(daily) Screener[c1]

  1 2 3

  c1 = (abs(open[1] - close[1]))< (open[1]/10000) Timeframe(daily) Screener[c1]

  If you want to sort the results with the variation of the candlestick, you can replace the last line with:

  Screener[c1] (abs(open[1] - close[1]))

  1	Screener[c1] (abs(open[1] - close[1]))

  Thank you for your reply Nicolas. Somehow things do not show up right. My purpose is to screen for small abs close minus open. For today I changed the part (open[1]/10000) into 0.10. Now this gives me a list in the SP500 of 65 items. However comparision of the criteria with the hard figures gives a no match.

  For example a stock like Lennar has a close minus open for the 10 juni of 0.38. Far beyond my 0.10.

  I think I ask a pretty simple thing to screen for. So where is the mistake?
