How to Filter a Current WatchList With a New Condition Set

You can now Filter any WatchList on the fly with any Condition or Condition Set you create. This allows for quick access to and application of any created conditions to any WatchList being viewed. Here are the steps for Filtering an existing WatchList using newly created condition(s).

1. Place a Checkmark next to Scan in any WatchList

This opens the Scan menu within the WatchList.

2. Click the Filter dropdown (Default says No Conditions); choose the Add Condition icon.

Choose Add True/False Column

This opens the library of saved Conditions/Condition Sets that can be used to Filter or Sort the WatchList

3. Create Filter Condition/Condition Set

Click New Condition

The Opens the Condition editing window. Click Add Condition.

Click Choose Condition(s) to open the criteria library

In the Search field type the name of the condition(s) to be used for the Scan. Click on the name of the criteria to create condition.

If you don't know the name of the criteria you can use the Categories to narrow the list and scroll to find the desired criteria desired.

4. Create the first condition

Click the Condition dropdown and select Is Between from the list.

Note: In this example we will build a Condition set looking for stocks with Price between $10 and $100, Average Daily Volume Greater than 500,000 shares,  Stochastics is overbought and the stock is currently making a new 50 day high. However, any indicators, fundamentals, formula, etc., in the condition criteria library can be used for constructing a condition/condition set.

Set the desired Minimum and Maximum values.

Set the desired Minimum and Maximum values and click OK.

The condition sliders with each value allow you to set values based on where the stocks are currently verses the Market (where do they rank).

5. Add the next condition

Click  + (Add Condition) and select Choose Condition(s) to open criteria library

6. To add the next condition (Average Volume Greater than 500,000 shares per day) click on + Add Condition.

Use the typing shortcut in the Search field to type the number 90. (The example will be: Average Volume Greater than 500,000 shares per day)

Left click on Pre-Built.

Select Volume 90-Day from the list.

Select Volume 90-Day from the list.

Set the Greater Than value to 500000.

Set the Greater Than value to 500000 and click OK.
