These filters compare the open for the day to the previous trading day’s range.  A stock which opens at exactly yesterday’s low will have a value of 0%.  A stock which opens at exactly yesterday’s high will have a value of 100%.

If you are looking for stocks which opened above yesterday’s high, set the min value for this filter to 100.1%.  If you are looking for stocks which opened at or below yesterday’s low, set the max value for this filter to 0%.  Note:  Some people call these cases "gapping up" and "gapping down," respectively.  We use a different definition of the term "gap," as seen in the previous filters.

You can also use these filters to find stocks which opened inside of the previous day’s range.  For example, set the min to 15% and the max to 85% to find stocks which opened completely inside the previous day’s range, nowhere near the high or low.

As another example, you can set the min to 95% and the max to 105% to find things which opened near the previous high.  Or set the min to -5% and the max to 5% to find things which opened near the previous low.  If you have trouble with negative numbers, start by entering the "near highs" example, and then use Trade-Ideas’s "flip" feature to give you the "near lows" case.

Notice that these filters are similar to the position in previous day’s range filters.  These filters compare the opening price to the previous day’s range.  Those filters compare the most recent print to the previous day’s range.  Otherwise, they are the same.
