Subject : Using Fundamentals as a Sort Value not working
Posted : 8/28/2019 10:50 PM
Post #46323

I am trying to run an OScan using a fundamental criteria as a sort value. However, regardless of which value I choose, I get no results. If I plug that criteria into the Criteria Rules, I do get results that I can filter down to the approximate number I want, but as soon as I put that fundamental parameter into Sort Value, any results disappear, regardless of the Select top xx stocks setting. Anyone else able to reproduce this?

Edit 9/1/19: I played some more and found odd behavior. I was trying to use ROE as my sort. That didn't work so I searched for other criteria, cleared, reset and selected PERatio and suddenly I got some sort results. So I replaced that with ROE and then it worked, or so I thought. Upon closer examination, what was happening was a previous technical sort criterion was doing the actual sort. Case in point: I had done a simple sort on close price. The SortValue field in the focus list contained the last close price. I was able to then insert ROE as the sort criterion and hit Apply. The sort result remained the same and the SortValue field still had close prices and not ROE values. Bottom line, fundamental sort criteria does not work.

I was next going to complain that OT wasn't letting me run such a scan dynamically, but it finally occurred to me that fundamental data is not available as a time series, so only the last quarterly results are available. :(
