Please remind me of the formula for tracking the number of days in a watch list. Thanks

No formula needed, Sunbird. Just sort any of your personal watchlists (the ones you've created) by Tracking Days in List.

Number of days is not available in the PCF language. It is only available through the sort condition.

What do you want to do with this information? Make it a part of a function in a PCF or just sort the WatchList by the Tracking number of days?

Doug...Yes, I want to write a PFC that has number of days since a particular signal as a function in the formula.

While it is not possible to include the number of days a symbol has been in a Watchlist, it is usually possible to write a Personal Criteria Formula for the number of days since a particular signal if the signal itself can be expressed as a PCF (days since last New High for example):

Days Since Last Peak (or other day-counting needs)
