I'd like to set an Alert to go off when the Vol% Change is greater than 150(%) compared to the Vol% Change of the previous day.  But I want to limit this Alert to a specific watchlist.  In v7 I could write a scan and limit it to a watchlist universe (of stock symbols) but I don't even see how to do that in v18.  Or how to do that with an Alert.

My Vol% Change Daily formula is:  (V / V1) *100.  I'm using it as a column heading and the watchlist's column is sorted each day so it ranks the symbols in the watchlist by this formula.  But I don't always check it everyday, which is why I need an alert.

Is there a way?

Highlight the top stock in your watch list.

Then, with Shift key down, highlight the bottom stock.

The whole watchlist should be shaded.Right click on shaded area and select Set Alert
