Indicator to show number of stocks up certain percentage

Moderation

New member
Hi is there a way to create an indicator that would show the number of stocks that are up a certain percentage? I realize this can be shown in the scan tab, but I would like to create this and see it as an indicator. Thanks!
 
Solution
You could check out symbols like $SPXA50R, $SPXA100R, and $SPXA200R, but I don't think TOS carries similar symbols for the NASDAQ 100. At least I've never encountered them.
Basically, No. You would have to hard-code every symbol into a massive list, which would probably cause all sorts of lag and errors if you actually managed to do it.

******thanks merryday, can this be made into a into study?
Putting the ToS limitations that @Joshua discussed above aside for a moment, how are you picturing a study on a chart plotting the 100 stocks of NASDAQ? Would it not look like spaghetti?

It is not clear what you are asking for.
Sounds like something you may have to post a picture of to explain what you are trying to accomplish along with a more detailed explanation.
Unsure of how to upload screenshots to the forum, Here are directions.

Is it possible that you are asking for a watchlist?
Here is a watchlist of all stocks whose price is greater than their stacked averages:

A watchlist is a dynamically updating list of your scan. To see just NASDAQ100, click on the drop-down box list of names, in the upper left-hand corner, click on Personal, click on 'NASDAQ100'

To see ALL stocks trading above above their stacked averages, upload the scan link below and in your watchlist (found by clicking MarketWatch), click on the scan name 'StackedSMA'.

To get alerts when your watchlist changes click on the

menu icon on the far right on your watchlist and then click on 'Alert when scan results change'
