What is the Price – Weeks High Scanner?
The Price – Weeks High scanner will find symbols that are trading at either their 1-week, 4-week or 52-week high, as set in the scanner filters settings. The 52-week high is defined as the highest price at which a security has traded during the time period that equates to one year. The 01/04/52-week high is based on the daily closing price for the security. If the current price is greater than the 01/04/52-week high, then a signal will be generated and is visible in the results screen for the Price – Weeks High scan.
