Bruce,

New watchlist field:  Earnings date  - While I realize earnings date is not really a standard fundamental, my Scottrade has it in its watchlist, so they are getting it from somewhare.

New watchlist field:  Days to Earnings date.  This is even better, so I can sort a group of stocks by number of days left.

Bugged watchlist field:  Price Volatility.  Thank you for including this field.  It is very useful. In using it I found it changes significantly based on day of week.  If you plot it, you can clearly see that it bounces in a 5 day cycle. Might it be that your data source is not accounting for weekends as non-trading days?  My suggestion is to calculate volatility based only on trading days and see if that steadies out the indicator and day-to-day scan values.

Thanks

mkirby
