I am a simple EOD user

Some years ago I recall reading about a simple way of identifying symbols for which there was missing or no price data but I cannot find it.

I would like to be able to identify symbols for which there is no price data for say the last five periods

Anyone got any ideas?

Why? Do you want to find those stocks, or avoid them?

i am a UK user and only interested in the FTSE 350 index.

I am exporting data for the current FTSE350 symbols from a product called sharescope and loadign them into OT

however when a symbol drops out of the FTSE 350 i am left with symbols in my focus list which are not getting updated and i would like to be able to easily identify them and delete them

Ah I see. Glad I asked. Easiest way is via OmniScan settings but that won't apply here.

If you own Pro I can get you an Indicator that you can use in the custom Focus List column to do that. Otherwise, it's manual, checking the charts.

Thanks

I recall reading of a way of doing this several years ago which i think made use of set up but cannot for the life of me remember how it worked

I guess the easiest way is to simply delete everything from my symbol list on the once a quarter date the contents of the FTSE350 gets reviewed and then simply load all of the current symbols into the list

I've created dozens of variants of things like this in the past, but they call for OLang via OT Pro. Sorry.
