Hi Peter,

I’m having a hard time trying to figure out how to make a scanner to scan stocks intraday that is moving above yesterdays highs(Including premarket movement) on the 1M chart with over 300k volume on the day.

The volume filter is applied using one of the built-in stock filters included on the platform.

The scan for current price above previous day's high can be constructed without any custom code, using only your mouse. Screenshot below shows what this looks like, after building this using the Condition Wizard.

Notice the time frame is set to Daily and the condition is merely checking if the close of the current bar is above the high of the previous bar. YES, this works intraday. So please test this before suggesting that this solution cannot work. It DOES work. On Thinkorswim, you do not need to use an intraday time frame in order to get live, real-time scan results during the trading session.

Have you never heard of the Condition Wizard? The following video explains how to build complex scans with nothing more than clicking your mouse.
