Welcome to the forums. A very good foundation for learning how to use TeleChart can be gained by reviewing the following:

If you are new to TeleChart READ THIS FIRST!

The trainers can't give setting, interpretation or investment advice. That said, you may be interested in using some of the following built in Fundamental System Criteria as EasyScan Conditions (adjusting the EasyScan Rangefinder for each Criteria to the desired range).

Using EasyScan to find stocks that meet your own criteria
Definitions of all built in scanning and sorting criteria

Dividend Growth Rate 5-Yr - This is the compound (shows accrued interest/dividend re-invested) annual dividend 5 year growth rate. The units are in percentages.

Dividend Yield - This is the latest dividend divided by the share price. It reads in percentage.

EPS Latest Qtr - Fully Diluted earnings per share from Total Operations, as taken from the latest 3-month ending period.

P/E Ratio - The price per share divided by the trailing 12 month's earnings per share. Companies with negative earnings are designated N/A. This well known criterion is a quick and dirty way of evaluating whether a stock is richly priced or reasonably priced. The P/E ratio must, however, always be evaluated in conjunction with growth rate. A high growth rate deserves a high P/E. Generally a low P/E would merit a long position.

P/E Ratio vs. 5-Yr-Average P/E - This is the current P/E ratio divided by the average of the last five year's P/E ratio. Expressed as a percentage: a value of 80, for instance, would mean that the current P/E is 80% of the five year average. This value shows whether a stock is reasonably priced relative to its own history.
