Sir,

How does one find out when a new stock is introduced?

How does one know which stocks have been trading for only the last 6 months?

Is there a way one can find when new stocks are added to Telechart?

Can I put my Watchlist as “All stocks” and sort in some way based on number of days a stock is trading?

I am interested in following recent IPO’s.

Many thanks for your reply.

Uday Mehta

There is no way to sort based on the number of days a stock has been trading. I've inquired about this myself, for the same reason you have stated: finding IPO's.

A way to find stocks trading for less than six months is to create a PCF with a duration of at least six months....like a 125 day (6 month) moving average, i.e. avgc125. Then place that PCF in one of the column sorts in the left area of the screen and sort an all stock's list based on that PCF.

IPO stocks trading for less than 6 months will appear as a group at the bottom.

It is what I was going to suggest.

Use other time frames as well...

Price Percent Change 1-month
Price Percent Change 26-weeks
Price Growth Rate 1-year

your welcome Uday.

...Craig's suggestion of using a pre-canned ranking (i.e. price percent change 1-month) is actually more efficient organizationally, eliminating the step of creating a "single use" PCF.
