I know about using custom date sort......but unsure how it applies to an entire sector or industry. Also, when the column shows "Change from " and the date, it shows numbers like 37.10......which I assumed was a 37.1% change within the date time frame I had entered. However, when I click and drag from that date, the data box shows the change was actually 61%. So Im confused about the custom date sort accuracy in its numbers. If anyone has any advice, I'd appreciate it

The Custom Date Sort should work on any WatchList. So bringing up the component WatchList of a sector will allow you to use the sort for the stocks in that sector.

If the % Change doesn't seem correct, it would probably be that the Custom Date Sort is set to vs. Sector or vs Industry instead of % Change. This would be returning how the symbol under or outperformed its sector or industry instead of the actual % change of the stock.

My guess would be it is a misunderstanding about the % being returned by pointer mode. This value is the percent change between the start and end of the line produced when dragging the pointer. It is not the % change of the underlying stock.
