RE: Alive, PM scan question..
Q: know how to write a scan for stocks trading at the high of day?
Well you can scan for daily values during the trading day using the "last intra-day update" setting on the scan interface page.
So the OHLC values are just the current values at the time of day that you run the scan, they won't be the official OHLC values until the trading day is closed. The open won't change but the HLC probably will by the end of the day.
However you could scan for the current price, which at the time is the current closing price and compare that to the current value for the high today. If the two are equal then you are at the high of the day, however as these values will probably only be equal for a second I would recommend scanning for the current close which is within say 99.9% of the high.
[type = stock]
and [country is US]
and [group is SP500]
and [close > high * 0.999 ]
play with the numbers as necessary
