Topic: Scanning a watchlist
Posted: Saturday, November 9, 2013 2:49:22 PM

I'm hoping to create a simple scan whereby I can receive an alert or even quickly filter on a watchlist, when the price of a stock comes within a range of a target price - for example, when the stock price is $1 higher or lower than my target price.

When I create a personal watchlist there is a column called trkPrice which I can edit, but I can't find a way to perform an EasyScan on that field.

Ideally, I would like a way to perform this scan on my Alert list but it seems there is no way to manipulate the alert list, or export the stocks and their alert prices from it.

For now, the only thing I can think of that comes close is if I create a watchlist and manually add in each stock in my alert list and assign my alert price to the trkPrice field, and then I could sort it up and down on that field to see which ones have had bigger moves in price but I'm thinking there's gotta be a better way to automate this.  Can anyone offer any suggestions?  Thanks in advance
