Howto List and Rank Indicator Result

NeoTicker® quote window have formula columns which allow users to easily see multiple symbols indicator calculated results in a list format. However quote window calculated columns are not available when NeoTicker® is in offline mode, in this case pattern scanner can be used to list indicator results.

This example will show how to list 20 day rate of change for Dow Jones 30 in quote window (real-time data source) and pattern scanner (offline mode).

Quote Window Formula Column

  • to start add a new quote window; at main menu select Window> New> Quote.
  • right click on quote window to activate popup menu; at popup menu select Symbol list> Import; select Dow Jones 30 symbol list at Import Symbol List window.
  • at quote window tool bar click on insert formula column button to insert a calculated column.
  • a column properties window will show up after formula column is added. At column properties window click on Indicator Wizard button to add indicator calculation.
  • at Indicator Wizard window select Rate of Change set time frame type to daily, click OK button to add indicator into column properties.

Pattern Scanner Indicator Column

When NeoTicker is not connected to real-time data source, pattern scanner is an alternative to list calculated result.

  • to start add a new pattern scanner, at main menu select Window> New> Pattern Scanner give the new pattern window a name. I used Example Pattern Scanner 20 Period Rate of Change.
  • right click on new pattern scanner window select Setup from popup menu.
  • at option tab change Ranking to Rank by Indicator, by changing this setting indicator result column will show after the scan is completed. Also at option tab select Symbol List as input and select Dow Jones 30.
  • at data tab change days to load to 50, this number is chosen because calculation is 20 day rate of change, so at least 20 days of data is required.
  • at indicator tab click on add to add rate of change at period parameter change it to 20, make sure On and RK checkboxes are checked. Since we are not doing any filtering in this example no other settings needs to be changed.
  • click Apply and Start Scan to start the scanner.
