With the Plus
Version these features are added:
The
Add Field capability. This function enables you to add and delete fields from your
Search Criteria Available Fields list box.
The
Available Fields list found under the Add Field tab in Parameters Setup
generates a list of ALL the fields
that are located on the data feed server to which you have logged on.
This list will vary depending on what your data feed service provider
/ broker has chosen to support. The accuracy of the data is a
function of the frequency and level of
maintenance your data feed supplier chooses to perform.
Some fields on the server are searchable and other fields only will return
reference information. The Price Server LiveQuote Table fields are searchable fields.
The Calculations Server and Pre-defined Table fields are searchable as well.
If the fields are not searchable, they will only display what specific
reference information that is contained in the field; e.g. a PE ratio, Shares Outstanding
and etc.
Formula writing capability.
Through
the use of the Formulas function, you can create your own unique formulas.
Any of the fields you selected in the Add Field function can be incorporated
into your formulas with a simple double click. The all the that needs to
be added is the algebraic symbols and any specific values and the formula is
completed. With that and the Check Formula feature, formulas can be
created quickly and errors in formulas can be easily isolated and
corrected.
The
results of the formulas can be conditionally set to specific criteria in the
Primary Criteria tab of the Search Parameters Setup.
Then when you run a search only those stocks that qualify to those
criteria will appear in the search results display. If you would like to
change definitions of the formulas in the Standard version, you can even edit
those formulas to you liking.
The
creation
of formulas uses the same convention and functions as used in Microsoft’s
Excel spreadsheet application. There is no new or special programming
language to learn. If you are familiar with that Excel or other similar
spreadsheet applications, you will be ready to use this function immediately.
If you would like to see some of the functions supported you can go
to Reference Center.
Limits criteria.
The idea here is to use Limits to continue reducing further the number of
symbols that appear from a search and speed up your analysis to a trade
decision.
Limits are very similar to formulas except there is not
a display column associated with them. If the value set in the Limit
meets the criteria, the limit will allow the symbol
to be displayed, if it is not met, the Limit will disregard the symbol. Items are displayed based on a
accumulation of these limits, all limits must result in a "True"
condition for a symbol to pass through the criteria.
like "=TRDPRC_1 > 10" is an example of a simple Limit.
Through the use of Limits, compound and conditional (IF, AND, OR) statements can be
easly
created. To test your search results, you can disable limits by simply un-checking the check box next to the
limit statement.
Historic
Database. With the Plus, you can Search,
Sort and use in any of over 250 additional fields for the creation of
searches in
any combination and with any criteria. There are no
limitations to the number of fields, formulas or limits you can use.
Many of the fields have offsets to enable more sophisticated calculations
to be adjusted to fit certain trading patterns.
Some of the fields included are ADX,
Average Volumes, Average Ranges, Moving Averages, Direction Indicators, RSI,
Daily History, and
much more. Click
here to see a complete field list.
Additional
historic data or special fields will be added upon request. To request additions;
email: Add
Historic Data with
"Add Database Field" in the subject line.
Special
functions: There are number of specialized
functions unique to the SortWizard designed to add more flexibility and
information to your searches. Some of these are:
-
Is New - Identifies
new symbol that has just qualified in the search. This field can
then be sorted to display new qualifiers automatically on the top of your
list.
-
Market Open
Ratio - The ratio from 0 (open) to 1 (close) of the regular trading
day that has transpired at the time of the search. Use this to
create an automatically incrementing minimum
volume criteria.
