Is it possible to create a scan that lists stocks that have, say ,10% swing in a given day?

Describe what you mean by 10% swing

For example, a stock opens at $1 and goes down or up 10 cents somewhat regularly.

I guess another way of saying it is, I'm looking for stocks that have heavy intra-day volatility, large candlesticks with a bit of consistency.

Thx

I too am looking for filter criteria that will identify high volatility stocks; e.g. those where the high minus low over last x number of days is at least $1.00. Not sure how to set criteria for this and will be grateful for help.

Here's something to get you started ... look at the cma_hilo column

Fetcher[
/* Basic Criteria */
and not otcbbb
and close > 0.50
and avgvol(20) > 543210
and chart-length is 40 days
and sort column 7 descending

and add column separator

/* What was today's high-to-low range */
and set{hilo, high - low}
and add column hilo
and draw hilo

/* What was the average high-to-low range over the last X number of days */
and set{cma_hilo, cma(hilo, 20)}
and add column cma_hilo
and draw cma_hilo on plot hilo

and cma_hilo increasing last 1 day

and add column separator

/* How many times did the daily high-to-low cross above it's X-day moving average */
and set{cnt_up, count(hilo crossed above cma_hilo, 20)}
and add column cnt_up
and draw cnt_up

/* How many times did the daily high-to-low cross below it's X-day moving average */
and set{cnt_dw, count(hilo crossed below cma_hilo, 20)}
and add column cnt_dw
and draw cnt_dw on plot cnt_up

/* How many times did the daily high-to-low cross above and below it's X-day moving average over the last X days */
and set{cnt_cross, cnt_up + cnt_dw}
and add column cnt_cross
and draw cnt_cross

/* What percent of the time did the daily high-to-low cross above AND below it's X-day moving average */
and set{cnt_cross_pct, cnt_cross / 20}
and add column cnt_cross_pct

and add column separator

/* The daily high-to-low range was what percent of the open for that day */
and set{tmp_open_rng_pct, hilo / open}
and set{open_rng_pct, tmp_open_rng_pct * 100}
and add column open_rng_pct
and draw open_rng_pct

/* What was the average daily high-to-low percent over the last X number of days */
and set{cma_open_rng_pct, cma(open_rng_pct, 20)}
and add column cma_open_rng_pct
and draw cma_open_rng_pct
