Position in Range Stock Screener
Find stocks near the top or bottom of a price range with ChartsWatcher. Filter percentage position across intraday, daily and longer lookback windows.
Understand the metric
What is Position in range (%)?
Position in range expresses where the current price sits between the selected period’s low and high. The low corresponds to the bottom of the range and the high to the top. ChartsWatcher offers supported intervals from 2 minutes through longer lookbacks such as 20 days and 1 year, making the chosen horizon central to interpretation.
An illustrative example
Position in range (%) in practice
If the 5-minute low is $100, the high is $110 and the current price is $101, its position is 10% of the way up the range. A condition near the upper end would exclude this example, even if the stock was up from yesterday’s close.
Make it part of your workflow
A more deliberate stock screen.
Use ChartsWatcher to screen for stocks holding near a period’s highs or lows, then add percentage range to distinguish a wide span from a tiny one. A chart or a relevant high/low alert helps you inspect the structure behind the current position.
ChartsWatcher lets you combine this filter with other criteria in a toplist and rank the results by the columns you care about. Keep the shortlist beside charts, stock news, and watchlists in your own layout.

A little more detail.
How do I add Position in range (%) in ChartsWatcher?
Open or create a toplist and add Position in range (%) to its filter configuration. Choose the available options and the bounds that fit your screen. Combine it with other metrics to narrow the results. Filters can also refine which stocks qualify for an alert.
What should I check when interpreting this filter?
A high position in a very narrow range can be insignificant in price terms. New highs or lows also change the range boundaries and the resulting percentage.
From an idea to your own scan.
Use Position in range (%) with the other conditions that define your setup. Keep matching stocks, charts, and news together, with a configuration you can refine as you go.
