How often is this figure updated? Using DJO as an example TC has shown the figure with a "+" sign for the last 30 days+-. Yet looking at other sources of information such as IBD they show a decrease in shares held. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Thank you in advance

Not sure what you mean by the + and the +-. TeleChart shows a percentage in the Sort Value column for this criterion.

We update our fundamental data weekly at noon on Saturday. I don't know how frequently our vendor provides an update to the percent of shares held by institutions. I'll check into it.

On the top of the chart where the high,low,close etc is where I have the %share... set up,clicking on the figure brings up the "edit field" option which brings up the "column display" window. On the bottom is "show plus and minus sign". I assumed that selecting this would tell me if shares were being bought"+" or sold "-".
Thanks

For this criterion, there should never be a minus. The values range from 0% to 100%. If you use the + and - signs, they should all show the +, unless the value is zero, and then there is no sign.

Our data shows a decrease from March to April and an increase from April till May. June numbers are not in yet.

The plus/minus is for positive or negative values, not changes.

So would this be a "feature request" to show if insiders and institutions were buying or selling?
As it is currently set up can these "shares held" be plotted on the chart?
Thanks again

Percent of Shares Held by Institutions can be plotted in the stock program inside of Worden Studio.

Just checked Worden Studio and it shows a constant 98.30 since February, however in the above post from Craig the shares total changed, I'm confused.

It does, I was looking at % Held by Insiders. My mistake (sorry).

So this data you are refering to is the same as in Worden Studio?
Thanks again

My Worden Studio plotted no change in Institutional holdings for the ticker.
