Script not working as expected

Hi all, I am trying to get the list of all stocks that went up 10% at some point during the day. That's 10% from the price at which the stock started trading today. I wrote this script and while all the results are correct, I noticed that it missed a few other stocks. For example, it missed KAVL and YTEN. Can you please take a look and let me know what I am doing wrong, because I can't find it. Thank you!

Code:
def na = double.nan;
def agg = AggregationPeriod.DAY; 
def OpenLine = open(period = agg);

def High = Highest(high(period = AggregationPeriod.DAY)[0], 1);

plot X = if OpenLine * 1.1 < High
then
1
else na;
 
Solution

I did a scan with this and it picked up KAVL and YTEN.
Ruby:
input sPeriod = {default DAY};

def varhigh = high(period = sPeriod);
def varopen = open(period = sPeriod);

plot X = if varopen * 1.1 < varhigh then 1 else Double.NaN;

Thank you very much Svanoy. It works! And I will be using it to just review stocks that have gone up more than 10% at some point during the day, to see how they perform after going up so much.
