How to scan Top % Gainers from Open?

Is there a way you can put this into the scan filters? I have 1 thinkscript where it shows daily % change from open but thats only on my charts. Would love to be able to scan the market for a list of top % change gainers since opening price
 
@Sagar
Price change from Specified time close to current close (intraday only/same day only)
Code:
#declare lower;
#Price change from Specified time close to current close  (intraday only/same day only)
#time aggregation must match and be multiple of the chart
#By XeoNoX via request via usethinkscript.com
input time = 0930;
def  close_at_time = if secondsFromTime(time) == 0 or GetDay() <> GetDay()[1] then close else close_at_time[1];
def dif = ((close-close_at_time)/close_at_time)*100;
AddLabel (yes, "Price Diff from Selected Time: " + round((close-close_at_time),2) + " (" +  round(dif,2) + "%)" );

@XeoNoX Looks like there is some issue with calculation of percentage. Checked tonight globex and see difference in %change column and next column.
p.s. Not sure how to upload the image here... but if you can add the change % column and the new code in another watchlist column can spot some discrepancies.

the custom script you req is defaults to 9:30am EST regular trading hours market open, the default %change is not from regular trading hours market open, the default is change from previous day close. you requested to be able to see the change from the current day's inputed the time and thats what that script does.

btw i dont get your logic, why are you are implying they should be the same?
for for future reference, since you are relating time to price the entire screenshot including the chart time and price shoud be included to be able to assist you better or else there will be to time to price to compare to for anyone to help.
