Question:

I have symbols broken up into groups using quotepages.  When I run a scan on all my symbols, in the resulting quotepage, I would like to be able to identify which quotepages each symbol resides in.  How can I do this?

  Answer

Question:

I've got a large quotepage of stocks I monitor.  I would like to run a scan periodically (every 15 seconds) to record the difference between the current daily volume and the volume the last time I ran the scan (15 seconds back), and record these values historically so I can run moving averages and other indicators on them.  Is there any way to do this?  (V# tickers)
