compare the difference

I want to create a scan to find the smallest % difference between P1(Prior Day Close) and P2 (Prior day high). Thank you in advance.
 
Solution
First what you want to do is create a custom column that simply measures that percentage difference.

Code:
(high[1] - close[1]) / high[1] * 100

Then, in the scan, you select your custom column as the "Sorted by:" filter, ascending.

How can I scan for /ES /YM /NQ, all three are green (up) for RTH open?

I don't understand what list of symbols that scan would be intended to generate. That sort of thing is better suited to a something like a label. Are you, perhaps, simply asking how to detect such a condition? I would need more information about your intentions.
