THINKORSWIM HIGH OF DAY (HOD) RADARScanner + Chart Study + Sortable HOD Watchlist Column thinkScript3 CUSTOM THINKORSWIM TOOLS.1 CLEAN HIGH-OF-DAY WORKFLOW.
Stop opening chart after chart trying to determine which stocks are closest to High of Day and which ones are actually establishing new intraday highs with meaningful volume.
The High of Day Radar Package gives Thinkorswim traders three coordinated tools designed to help identify, rank, and monitor intraday High-of-Day activity:
✓ SORTABLE HOD DISTANCE WATCHLIST COLUMN✓ HOD + VOLUME CHART STUDY✓ HOD + VOLUME STOCK HACKER SCANNER
Use them together to:
FIND IT → RANK IT → CONFIRM ITWHY HIGH OF DAY MATTERS TO MOMENTUM TRADERS
High of Day is much more than just another line on a chart.
For momentum traders, the current High of Day (HOD) is one of the most closely watched intraday price levels because it represents the highest price buyers have been able to reach during the session.
Several characteristics can make the HOD area important:
1. HOD CAN ACT AS A HIGHLY VISIBLE INTRADAY REFERENCE / RESISTANCE LEVEL
Traders can see exactly where price previously stopped advancing.
A move back toward that level can attract attention as buyers make another attempt to push price higher.
2. A BREAK ABOVE HOD CAN REPRESENT RENEWED MOMENTUM
When price pushes above the highest level previously reached during the session, the stock is entering new intraday territory.
Momentum traders, breakout traders, scanners, and other market participants may be watching that same level.
3. STOCKS HOLDING CLOSE TO HOD CAN SHOW RELATIVE INTRADAY STRENGTH
A stock trading only 0.10% below its HOD is behaving very differently from one that established its HOD earlier and has since fallen several percent.
Knowing exactly how far a stock is trading below HOD can help a trader quickly prioritize which symbols deserve closer attention.
4. HOD PROXIMITY CAN HELP IDENTIFY STOCKS WORTH WATCHING
A stock trading only a fraction of a percent below its session high may warrant different attention from one trading much farther below HOD.
The included Sortable HOD Distance Column makes that comparison easy across an entire watchlist.
5. VOLUME CAN HELP DISTINGUISH A ROUTINE NEW HIGH FROM A MORE ACTIVE ONE
A stock can move a few cents above its prior HOD on relatively light volume.
That is different from establishing a new High of Day while current volume is meeting or exceeding its recent average.
That is why the included Chart Study and Scanner combine:
NEW HIGH OF DAY + ABOVE-AVERAGE VOLUME
The goal is not to claim that every HOD breakout will continue higher.
Instead, the package helps traders identify stocks that are:
Trading close to High of Day
Establishing new intraday highs
Making new HODs with qualifying volume participation
WHY THIS PACKAGE IS DIFFERENT
A basic HOD indicator may simply draw a line.
The High of Day Radar Package is designed to help answer several useful intraday questions:
Which stocks in my watchlist are closest to HOD?Which stocks are making a new HOD right now?Which new HODs are occurring on above-average volume?Where did those HOD + Volume events occur directly on the chart?1. SORTABLE HOD DISTANCE WATCHLIST COLUMN
Quickly see which stocks in your watchlist are closest to their current High of Day.
The column displays:
% DISTANCE BELOW HIGH OF DAY
Examples:
0.00 = At High of Day
0.08 = 0.08% below HOD
0.25 = 0.25% below HOD
0.75 = 0.75% below HOD
Simply sort the column ASCENDING to move stocks closest to HOD toward the top.
LOWER NUMBER = CLOSER TO HIGH OF DAYCOLOR-CODED HOD PROXIMITY
The background color gives an additional at-a-glance indication of how close each stock is to its current High of Day.
With the default settings:
GREEN — AT / ESSENTIALLY AT HOD
0.00% through 0.05% below HOD
YELLOW — VERY CLOSE TO HOD
More than 0.05% through 0.25% below HOD
CYAN — CLOSE TO HOD
More than 0.25% through 0.50% below HOD
GRAY — MODERATELY NEAR HOD
More than 0.50% through 1.00% below HOD
MAGENTA — FARTHER FROM HOD
More than 1.00% below HOD
The proximity thresholds can be adjusted by the buyer.
NUMBER = % DISTANCE BELOW HODCOLOR = VISUAL HOD PROXIMITY RANGEIMPORTANT — HOW THE CUSTOM COLUMN SORTS
Thinkorswim sorts the Custom Column according to the numeric HOD-distance value displayed in the column.
For example:
0.08 is closer to HOD than 0.25
and
0.25 is closer to HOD than 0.75
Sort the column ASCENDING to place stocks closest to High of Day toward the top.
The background colors provide an immediate visual representation of the corresponding HOD-proximity range.
REGULAR SESSION OR EXTENDED HOURS — CUSTOM COLUMN
The Custom Column uses Thinkorswim's native:
Include Extended-Hours Trading session
setting in the Custom Quote aggregation window.
EXTENDED HOURS UNCHECKED
The HOD calculation uses the available regular-session bars.
EXTENDED HOURS CHECKED
Available extended-hours / premarket bars can participate in the HOD calculation.
This allows the buyer to select whether extended-hours activity should be included.
IMPORTANT — CUSTOM COLUMN PERFORMANCE NOTICE
The HOD Custom Watchlist Column requires Thinkorswim to calculate intraday High-of-Day data separately for each symbol in the watchlist.
Initial loading and refresh speed may vary depending on factors including:
Number of symbols in the watchlist
Number of custom watchlist columns being used
Selected aggregation / timeframe
Whether Extended-Hours data is included
Computer speed and available system resources
Number of charts, gadgets, studies, and other Thinkorswim tools running
Current market activity
Thinkorswim platform and data-processing performance
Larger or more complex watchlists may temporarily display “loading” while Thinkorswim completes the required calculations.
A temporary “loading” message does not necessarily indicate that the script is malfunctioning.
Loading and refresh speed are controlled in part by the Thinkorswim platform and the buyer's system environment and are not guaranteed to be instantaneous.
Larger watchlists can still be used, but additional initial calculation time may be required.
For faster response, focused watchlists and fewer simultaneous custom calculations are recommended when practical.
2. HOD + VOLUME CHART STUDY
The included Chart Study automatically tracks and plots the selected session's High of Day.
Its primary signal is the:
GREEN HOD + VOLUME ARROW
The green arrow identifies one specific programmed event:
NEW HIGH OF DAY + ABOVE-AVERAGE VOLUME
Not every candle making a new High of Day receives an arrow.
A qualifying candle must:
1. ESTABLISH A NEW HIGH OF DAY
AND
2. MEET OR EXCEED THE SELECTED PRIOR-AVERAGE-VOLUME THRESHOLD
This helps visually distinguish an ordinary incremental new high from a new HOD candle occurring with increased volume participation.
EXACTLY WHAT THE GREEN ARROW MEANS
The green arrow has one specific programmed meaning:
The current candle established a New High of Day AND its volume met or exceeded the selected multiple of prior average volume.
The green arrow does NOT mean:
Buy the stock
The breakout will continue
The stock is guaranteed to move higher
A particular win rate exists
A profit target will be reached
The setup will result in a profitable trade
A qualifying HOD + Volume candle can still fail, reverse, or result in a losing trade.
The arrow is simply a visual indication that the programmed HOD and volume conditions have been satisfied.
ABOVE-AVERAGE VOLUME IS FULLY ADJUSTABLE
The current candle's volume is compared with the average volume of the prior candles.
The current signal candle is intentionally excluded from its own average-volume benchmark.
Default example:
Volume Length = 20
Volume Multiplier = 1.00
This means current candle volume must be at least equal to the average volume of the previous 20 candles.
Want a stronger volume requirement?
1.20 = Current volume must be at least 120% of prior average
1.50 = Current volume must be at least 150% of prior average
2.00 = Current volume must be at least 200% of prior average
The buyer controls the threshold.
REGULAR HOURS OR ALL DAY — CHART STUDY
The Chart Study allows the buyer to choose how High of Day is defined.
REGULAR HOURS
High of Day begins fresh at the official regular-session open for the symbol.
Premarket highs are ignored.
ALL DAY
High of Day begins with the first available bar of the trading date and can include available premarket activity.
Choose the mode that matches the trading session you want to monitor.
CHART STUDY FEATURES✓ Automatic High-of-Day tracking✓ Regular Hours / All Day selection✓ High-of-Day reference line✓ New-HOD detection✓ Above-average-volume confirmation✓ Adjustable volume-average length✓ Adjustable volume multiplier✓ Green HOD + Volume arrows✓ Distance-from-HOD information✓ Current volume-vs-average information✓ Optional chart labels✓ Optional alertsIMPORTANT — CANDLE COLOR DOES NOT DETERMINE HOD
A candle does not have to be green to establish a new High of Day.
A red candle can establish a new HOD just as easily as a green candle.
The study uses the candle's actual HIGH when determining the High-of-Day level.
3. HOD + VOLUME STOCK HACKER SCANNER
The included Thinkorswim Stock Hacker Scanner searches for stocks that are:
MAKING A NEW HIGH OF DAYANDDOING IT ON ABOVE-AVERAGE VOLUME
The Scanner uses the same core:
NEW HOD + VOLUME
logic as the green-arrow event on the Chart Study.
This allows the buyer to search for qualifying HOD + Volume activity without manually opening every chart.
REGULAR SESSION OR EXTENDED HOURS — SCANNER
Use Thinkorswim's native EXT checkbox in the Stock Hacker aggregation settings.
EXT UNCHECKED
Scan available regular-session bars.
EXT CHECKED
Available extended-hours / premarket bars can be included.
No separate premarket version of the scanner is required.
THE COMPLETE WORKFLOWSTEP 1 — FIND IT
Run the HOD + Volume Scanner to identify stocks currently making new intraday highs with qualifying volume.
STEP 2 — RANK IT
Use the Sortable HOD Distance Watchlist Column.
Sort ascending to bring stocks closest to High of Day toward the top.
The background colors provide an immediate visual indication of each stock's HOD proximity.
STEP 3 — CONFIRM IT
Open the symbol on your chart.
The HOD + Volume Chart Study displays the current High-of-Day level and highlights qualifying:
New High of Day + Above-Average Volume
events directly on the chart.
IMPORTANT — MATCHING SETTINGS
For the closest correspondence between Scanner results, Chart Study signals, and Custom Column calculations, the tools should be configured with matching aggregation/timeframe, volume settings, and Regular/Extended-Hours settings.
Detailed matching instructions and recommended configurations are included with the product.
