This can't be done through the use of PCF's. However, with a little legwork upfront, you'll have what you need. Follow these steps:
1. Change your active watchlist to Exchange Traded Funds.
2. Unflag All
3. Flag All Symbols in WatchList
4. Change your active watchlist to All Stocks
5. Create a new watchlist called No ETF's or Holders. Click the button that says Start With Symbols from the active watchlist.
6. When your new watchlist is displayed, it will include All Stocks, but the ETF's will be flagged. Click Watchlist (from the menu across the very top of your screen), then click Remove Symbols, and select Flagged.
You will now have a watchlist that includes all stocks but does not include any ETF's or Holders. Whenever you build a new EasyScan, change the WatchList to scan to No ETF's or Holders, and ETF's and Holders will be excluded from the scan results. You can even go back and edit any of your existing scans and change the WatchList to Scan to No ETF's or Holders, and they will be removed from those scans, as well.
In the future when posting a question in the forum, please include a meaningful topic title, instead of "To Craig". In addition to wanting to help you, our purpose here in the forums is to provide education for as many subscribers as possible. When looking at a list of topics, the topic title "To Craig" gives absolutely no indication concerning what the topic is about, so most people would just skip it. Thanks in advance for doing this.
