Stocks Near a Recent Chart High Alerts
Find stocks approaching a recent chart high with ChartsWatcher. The alert uses current ATR(20) proximity on the selected supported candle timeframe.
Understand the trigger
What is Near last high?
Near Last High identifies price approaching the latest high formed on the chosen candlestick chart. The documented distance condition is less than the current 20-period ATR. Its reference is a recent chart high, not necessarily the highest price of the day. ChartsWatcher offers multiple intraday intervals and a four-hour option, with calculations during regular and extended-hours sessions.
An illustrative example
Near last high in practice
Imagine a recent five-minute chart high at $73.50 while the earlier daily high sits at $74.20. Price coming within less than the current ATR(20) of $73.50 illustrates this alert’s focus. The recent high can be relevant even though price is still some distance from the day’s highest point.
Make it part of your workflow
Catch the event. Keep the context.
Use ChartsWatcher to surface approaches to local chart highs before deciding which charts deserve closer attention. Match the candle interval, locate the recent high, and compare it with the wider daily range. Following the related break-over-recent-high alert can then distinguish an approach from an actual move through the chart reference.
ChartsWatcher brings your chosen alert types and filters into the same alert window. Add the data columns you want to see, then use the connected chart and news tools to explore a matching symbol.
