I've run into this problem for ages (and probably asked about it a decade ago), but  how do I keep non-existent (blank chart) symbols from my easyscans?  Recent examples are LBND and IPOA.   I build several watchlists, most of which include a volume filter (both daily and weekly) to ensure a minimum level of trading liquidity.  I then backtest various strategies upon these watchlists using StockFinder. The backtest often gets caught up/freezes on a symbol which, when checked, does not appear to exist. 

Somehow these symbols show price and volume in data columns despite not existing, so they still appear in easyscans that filter for price/volume.  Is there some way (other than reporting each name individuallly to support for removal) to eliminate these names from scans?

Try adding creating the following Personal Criteria Formula and use it as one of your EasyScan Conditions.

C = C

That said, the best thing to do is to report each symbol to data by sending an email to:

that worked great, thanks Bruce!

You're welcome.
