Re My Metastock Professional Question

I guess I have figured out one way to do it, and that is to select daily in the Explorer options, even when running against a real time chart.

I would still be curious if anyone has any other ideas, as this limits my flexibility quite a bit in writing formulas for the scan.

Thanks,

John

This formula will give you the value of the Open of the first trade of the day:

ValueWhen(1,DayOfMonth()<>Ref(DayOfMonth(),-1),
OPEN)

This formula will give you the close from the previous day:

ValueWhen(1,DayOfMonth()<>Ref(DayOfMonth(),-1),
ref(CLOSE,-1))

Subtract the second formula from the first formula, and you have the opening gap.
