I am looking to create an Easyscan that will locate recent IPO stocks.

Do you have a suggestion on how I can filter out stocks that have daily data of less than 3 months ?

These symbols usually have no Volatility value. I was wondering if I can create a PCF to look for stocks that have *no* Volatility value ?
Or perhaps, you have a better suggestion.

Symbol WU is an example of the type of stock I am trying to filter out.

thanks.

We cannot scan for IPOs but you can sort for them.

Sort ALL STOCKS by Price Percent Change 1-month (or 26-weeks, etc)

At the very bottom of the list will be ones with no SORT VALUE. They have not traded long enough to have a 1-month percent change. Those are your IPOs.

I created a watch list of "all stocks" and sorted by Percent CHange 26-weeks. The bottom of the list has PGWC w/ a sort value of -94.42. It's not showing the "no sort value" issues that I am looking for. Any other suggestions on how to sort for these IPOs is appreciated.

Don't create a WatchList of ALL STOCKS.... go to the pre-built WatchList ALL STOCKS.

Sort by Price Percent Change 26-weeks.

Manually scroll down the list to the very bottom.

There are currently 306 stocks with no SORT VALUE for this condition (they've traded less than 26weeks)
