Gap down screener and addcolumn

a = histoprice(_close,1);
b = histoprice(_open,0);
var1 = b < a;
filter = var1;

Why is the above not working? I'm not getting any hits

I've also tried:

var1 = histoprice(_open,0) < histoprice(_close,1);
filter = var1;

And i'm trying to add this column to screener:

AddColumn("Column1",a);

or

AddColumn("Column1",histoprice(_close1));

Neither work. I believe the logic is correct?

im not sure why histoprice does not work in screener but the below works:

a = ref(close,1);
b = ref(open,0);
var1 = b < a;
filter = var1;

AddColumn("Open", ref(open,0));
AddColumn("close1", ref(close,1));

It does work. Are you using an intraday time frame in your screener?
The "histoprice" function gets daily ohlc from intraday data.

The "histoprice" should be used only with intraday data.

In daily data, to get previous data, simply using "ref" function.

whatsup QS, just curious if i'm doing the below correctly:

// Gapped down 100
z = close > 10;
x = sma(volume, 30) > 1000000;
a = ref(open,0) < ref(close,1);
b = day() != ref(day(), 1);
d = z and x and a and b;

I'm looking for stocks that have a close higher than 10, avg volume for 30 days > 1M and gap down

i know i have all the rules correct .. is d= also correct?

Yes, it is correct. But "b" is not necessary since you are using EOD data so "b" variable will always be true.
