How the Position in Range (1 year) filter works
The "position in year range" filter is used to evaluate where the current price of a stock stands relative to its price range over the past 12 months. This filter helps traders assess the recent price movement of a stock and identify potential trading opportunities based on its position within this range.
Here's how the "position in year range" filter works:
Calculation of Year Range: The filter calculates the price range of the stock over the past 12 months. This range typically spans from the lowest price (low) to the highest price (high) traded during this period.
Formula
Position Calculation: Next, the filter determines the position of the current price within the 12 month range. This calculation is expressed as a percentage, indicating how far the current price is from the lowest or highest price of the past 12 months.
This uses the same scale as the other position in range filters. 0% means that the stock is currently trading at the lowest price that it has traded in the previous 12 months. 100% means that the stock is trading at the highest price of that time frame.
Formula
This filter is similar to the Position in Previous Day’s range filter, because it does not look at today’s data when they calculate the range. If the current stock price is $10, and the highest price in the previous 12 months was $9, then the value of this filter will be above 100%. If the current price is less than the lowest price of the last 12 months, then this filter will have a negative value.
The current price is based on the last print. There is no smoothing or averaging. These filters update before, during, and after market hours.
The column for this scan will be displayed as a graphical indicator. To view the percentage, simply right-click on the column and deselect the option labeled "Graphical Indicator."
If you opt to utilize the graphical indicator, here's a brief overview of the various types of graphics and their corresponding meanings:

Using the Position in Range (1 year) Filter
Several trading strategies can be employed with the Position in Range (1 year) filter. Here are a few examples:
- Trend Confirmation: Traders assess the position of the current price within the yearly range to confirm existing trends. If the price consistently stays near the high or low of the range during an uptrend or downtrend, respectively, it suggests that the trend is still intact. Traders may consider entering positions in alignment with the trend.
- Reversal Trading: Contrarian traders look for stocks that have moved significantly away from the high or low of the yearly range, indicating potential overbought or oversold conditions. Reversal signals near the range's extremities, such as bearish or bullish candlestick patterns, may prompt traders to anticipate a reversal back towards the mean.
- Range Trading: Traders identify stocks trading within the yearly range and aim to capitalize on price oscillations within this range. They may initiate long positions near the range's low and short positions near the high, intending to profit from price reversals back towards the range's midpoint.
