Price + 12¢ is below day's high

[ARL]

Hello! I'm working with the code below to scan for stocks whose price close + 12¢ on a 3 minute chart is below the high of day (excluding extended hours), but I can't get it to work. When I add high(period = "DAY") I run into the "secondary period not allowed" issue, otherwise the code as is doesn't generate accurate results. What would work instead? Thanks in advance for the help.

def currentPrice = close;
def highOfDay = high;
def condition = currentPrice + 0.12 < highOfDay;
plot scan = condition;

here is a lower code to experiment with.
on each bar, it tests for a higher high of the day. in other words, the first bar won't know about the highest bar of the day.
comparing it a price is less than the highest, will result in a lot of hits

#scan_to_day_hi
declare lower;

def d = getday();
def newday = d != d[1];
def highOfDay = if newday then high else max(high, highofday[1]);

def currentPrice = close;
#def highOfDay = high;
def condition = (currentPrice + 0.12) < highOfDay;
plot scan = condition;
#

Thank you! This is more involved than I thought it would be so I appreciate your expertise. This is combined with other filters so the hits will be manageable.
