Subject : RE: Omniscan to filter out sector / industry group

I understand. I made this exact request many years ago.

However let’s try to find a solution that works with the current capabilities.

Let’s say that first, you Add all symbols from whatever canned lists you want, to the Population area.

Now, if I understand correctly, it would do the trick if you could apply a technical filter that blocks any symbols that are in some specified Zacks list. Is that correct?

I think I can create an “indicator” function that returns true false, which would have input parameter(s) which allow you to specify the ZG#(s) that you want to *block* - so any symbol from the population that is in the spec’d group would NOT end up in the FL.

If that would completely solve your problem, let me know *how many* such ZG blocking spec’s you’d want to apply together (max). Keep in mind that you can block an entire Sector with a single 2-digit code, or a full Group with a 5-digit input … rather than having to list every included SubGroup # (although you could do that if you choose, only blocking certain subgroups in a group).

And, presuming this works nicely, would it be worth a few bucks for the indicator? It would be usable anywhere OmniScript rules can be input, for OT or VT (but not in the N cloud).
