How to Create a Sort/Scan Condition Using Bid/Ask Spread or Spread % (Stocks)

7. Select the desired condition from the drop down menu
Our example, a spread of less than .20
8. Select the desired value with the value spinner (or by typing value in the field)
9. Click Ok to complete the Condition and add the column to the WatchList.
