quote-page-basics

You can do this manually, by opening the .All Symbols quotepage and deleting the symbols one at a time, by clicking on the ticker symbol in the quotepage and then clicking on the red trash can icon in the quotepage toolbar. You can delete ALL the symbols by clicking on the "Ticker" column heading and then clicking on the red trash can icon on the quotepage toolbar. However, that will remove the symbols from other quotepages as well.

You can create a scan (File > Open > RTL) as shown below:

First, I would create a quotepage...and make sure it's empty at the begin of each session. Let's say the quotepage name is "myQP". You can empty it by just opening and clicking the green trash can on quotepage toolbar (You could also probably do this with a scheduled scan in order to automate just before each session).

Now, let's assume the syntax for your scan is:

MA > MA_A AND MA.1

You'll just need to change the syntax to:

QP = "myQP" OR (MA > MA_A AND MA.1

This would be done with a scan. Let's assume that we have 3 quotepages, and we want to create a single quotepage which contains all the symbols in those 3 quotepages. We'll assume the names of our quotepages are SP500, Nasdaq100, and Dow30. Create a Scan (Setup: Scans) with the following syntax:

Quotepage Format is not one of the preferences that can be applied globally to all quotepages via the Setup: Preferences: Quotepage window. The reason being that we felt it unlikely that a user would want the same format for every one of his quotepages. Only "colors, gridlines, and other simple appearance settings" can be applied globally in this way.

Users of the Investor/RT can do this kind of quotepage merging easily using an RTL scan. Suppose you have two quotepages named “PageA” and “PageB” and you wish to create a new quotepage that contains all symbols that reside in either PageA or PageB. Run this scan on all your symbols:

QP = “PageA” OR QP = “PageB”

A tool called the QuotePage Browser has been added to the MS Windows version of Investor/RT. The browser window presents lists of quotepages (System Quotepages, User Quotepages, Recent QuotePages) and the instrument ticker symbols for each quotepage. User-defined quotepage groups and subgroups are also shown in an indented outline format. Any group can be expanded or collapsed by double-clicking on its name.

The quotepage Change value is computed as a difference in price from the Prev Close (Previous day's closing price) quotepage column. Some market data sources update this previous close value each time you log in, while others do not. Those that update it automatically should reliably show accurate Change, %Change, and Prev Close values.

If your data source does not supply this value, a custom column may be created to simulate the Change column. The Profession edition of Investor/RT is required to create a custom indicator to compute these values.

Investor/RT has long had the ability to add instruments to quotepages w/o having to open the quotepage to perform the addition. This is a somewhat hidden feature of the Quick Quote window.

To delete all your symbols, open the ".All Symbols" quotepage (system quotepage), and then click the red trashcan button on the quotepage toolbar. If the toolbar isn't visible, press Ctrl-T once or twice until it appears. You must make sure that you don't have any specific symbol selected (i.e.
