DV Token for Testing Date/Time Specific Values

The RTL DV token allows you to refer to a price point at some time in the past using a specific date/time. For example, suppose you are running a scan and wish to compare the current closing price with the price of the issue at the close of last year. Simply add the token DV to your scan token list. A dialog box will appear in which you specify the date as 12/31/99 and the price point as "Close". Then use DV in your scan formula to refer to the 12/31/99 closing price. For example, try this scan:

CL/DV > 1.2; scan for issues up 20% of more this year
