I'd like some help here, please. I have the following formula: inputs: todayStTime (830), todayEnTime (900), yesterdayStTime (1430), yesterdayEnTime (1500); variables: dayCounter (0), dayClose (0), dayOpen (0), //dayHigh (-999999), //dayLow (+999999), //prevDayHigh (0), //prevDayLow (0), //dayHigh (0), //dayLow (0), prevDayClose (0), prevDayOpen (0), prevClCounter (0), prevTradeDay (false), todayTradeDay (false); // confirms the beginning of the day with true/false conditions if date <> date[1] then begin prevTradeDay = true; todayTradeDay = false; dayCounter = dayCounter + 1; end; // resets the new day to give the previous day open time interval if prevTradeDay then begin if time = yesterdayStTime then begin prevTradeDay = false; prevDayOpen = Open; end; end; // resets the new day to give today's open time interval if todayTradeDay = false then begin if time >= todayStTime then begin todayTradeDay = true; dayOpen = Open; end; end; // resets the new day to give the previous day close time interval if prevTradeDay then begin if time = yesterdayEnTime then begin prevTradeDay = false; prevDayClose = close; end; end; // resets the new day to give today's close time interval if todayTradeDay = false then begin if time = todayEnTime then begin todayTradeDay = true; dayClose = close; end; end; plot1(DayOpen); //plot2(dayClose); plot13(prevDayOpen); //plot14(prevDayClose); I want to plot yesterday's open and close prices based on the time interval selected in the input and also, today's open and close prices also, based on the time interval selected in the input. As it is, plots today's open and yesterday open prices, but If I also plot today's and yesterday's close prices, these will be zero, though, if I remove the statements regarding the opening prices, the close prices will be correctly plotted. What am I doing wrong? Please see attached images. Thank you.

Is anyone familiar enough with some of the features of the TWS API from Interactive Brokers ? Here's what I'm trying to do: 1) From a list of 1100 stocks, at the OPEN at 9:30am EDT, determine which from this group have GAPPED (open > previous high). It doesn't sound difficult, but it's tough to do with a DDE quote link....too many symbols....it would hang at the open ! 2) What I need is a customized SCANNER that runs at 9:30 am and then merges the GAP list in the universe of stocks to those in the group of 1100. IBI's current scanner does not permit custom scans...only their presets are supported. I looked at Yahoo's scanner, but it's Java-based. I need the raw API so I can do this within Excel. I know Tradestation's Radarscreen can do this, but we can't run that platform. Sheesh....this sounds so SIMPLE....am I missing something ? Any ideas greatly appreciated !
