Two questions:

1. Regarding the column content criteria for the watch list tabs. Am I locked into the criteria given or is this customizable? In other words, I can add a 5-day price increase percent and a one month price increase percent. What if I want to see a two month and a three month percent increase column?

2. Regarding Easyscan, I would like to develop a simple momentum formula. Something like all stocks between $5.00 and $50.00 that have seen a price increase of 20% in the last three months and 40% in the last six months and 60% in the last year. I am pretty sure this can be done, I just can't figure out how to do it. Can you help?

Thanks.

1. The columns included in each watchlist tab are completely customizable. Please view this short training video to learn how:

Customize the Information Displayed in the WatchList

If you would like to include columns for criteria not included in the program, you can write your own PCF's to create the criteria. The specific ones you mentioned would be:

((C-C42)/C42)*100 for two month price percent change
((C-C63)/C63)*100 for three month price percent change

For help in learning to write personal criteria formulas (PCF's), you can watch the following training video:

How to create a Personal Criteria Forumula (PCF)

For your EasyScan, all of the criteria you mention are already in the program, with the exception of the three month percent change, which I gave to formula for above. Once you create it, you can use it in an EasyScan. Include the following criteria in your scan:

Price Per Share - use range selector to accept values between 5 and 50
Price Percent Change 3 Months (see PCF above): use range selector to accept values from 20 to MAX
Price Percent Change 26 weeks: use range selector to accept values from 40 to MAX
Price Growth Rate 1 Year: use range selector to accept values from 60 to MAX

For help in learning how to put an EasyScan together, please view the following training video:

Using EasyScan to find stocks that meet your own criteria
