Hi, is there any way to exclude ETFs from the results of easyscans?

Thanks.

I cannot think of an entirely automated method of doing so.

Whenever the following says to right-click on the WatchList, it means the WatchList itself (the symbols in the WatchList), not the name of the WatchList.

- Right-click on the WatchList and select Clear All Flags in System.
- Bring up the US Exchange Traded Funds WatchList.
-Right-click on the WatchList and select Flag All | Symbols in WatchList.
- Bring up the US Common Stocks WatchList (or whatever WatchList you want to use instead).
- Right-click on the WatchList and select Copy All Symbols | To Other List...
- Select (New Personal WatchList) from the Copy symbols to: drop-down menu.
- Give the WatchList a name and select OK.
- Bring up the Personal WatchList you just created.
- Right-click on the WatchList and select Remove Flagged Symbols from List.

The resulting Personal WatchList should have the US Exchange Traded Funds WatchList removed. You could flag all of the symbols in other WatchLists prior to removing flagged symbols to remove them as well.

You can then use this WatchList as the List to Scan for your EasyScan.

Note that you would need to rebuild this occassionally as new stocks would not be automatically added to your Personal WatchList.
