Quote: Thanks for the suggestion. We will take a look at adding the % change from Open. One of the reasons we decided against incorporating full spreadsheet and formula capabilities in DTN.IQ was because all of the functionality and more is available through DDE links into Excel. We didn't feel it was a good use of development time to implement functionality that is already done really well by Microsoft. Unfortunately, the control used within Interquote that gave that functionality, is no longer available and thus we couldn't use it in new software.
We did begin to implement basic formula functionality into the Watch list, but it wasn't heavily tested and is very buggy (and thus we didn't document the functionality in our help files).
--- Original message by DTN_Jay_Froscheiser on Dec 8, 2004 12:36 PM Have you decided if this request can be done? If not do you or anyone else know where I can find this information on a realtime basis from some other sight. I find myself wasting too much time sorting out stocks based on their performance of the total day rather than what they have done since they established their "open" price.
I am a daytrader and am forced to use the old program rather than the IQ program because of flexibility of writing formulas. The most important information I use is the % change from the open price for that day. Since I cannot participate in anything until open, I can only sort by "% increase" and formulate the change since open has been established. If you would add the "% change from Open" to your scan, it would help tremendously. You already have the information in your system so it really would not be a big deal.
