% above open and % below the open

I know that I have asked this question or a similar question before but what I am using is not working properly and I can't figure out why. Without showing you want it is that I am using how do I ask for a percentage above the open and a percentage below the open? Lets use 2%.

lmkwin

close >= open * 1.02

close <= open * 0.98

You could use High or low as well. You could even use 1 days ago close or other. The Open part is pretty self explanatory based on your request.

Thank you, that is not what I have been using. I do want my scan to include above or below the open.

If it's still not working correctly post those lines that you have for troubleshooting.

Thanks, it seems to be working well so far.

Can I ask if 1.0025 and .9975 are both asking for .25%? It looks like 2% is too much

lmkwin

1.25 is 25%
1.025 is 2.5%
1.0025 is 0.25%

So at a $25 price

1.25 is 25% = $6.25
1.025 is 2.5% = 63 cents
1.0025 is 0.25% = 6 cents

Too answer your question....Yes
