These tokens allow you to test for the day of the month (DAYM) or the month of the year (MONTH) in scans, signals, and custom indicators. DAYM evaluates to the day number in the range 1 to 31. MONTH yields a value 1 to 12. The DAY token yields a number 0 to 6 representing the day of the week (0 = Sunday, 1 = Monday, etc.).
The expressive power and ease of use of the RTL language has been improved substantially in Version 4.5 by the capability of referencing other scans, trading signals, and custom indicators when formulating an RTL expression for a scan or trading signal. New tokens have been introduced into RTL to enable the user to embed an existing scan (token SCAN), custom indicator (token CI), or trading signal (token SIGNAL) into the RTL expression. Multiple SCAN, CI, and SIGNAL tokens can be incorporated into a scan or trading signal just like multiple moving average (MA) tokens.
Primitive properties are properties of an instrument for which Investor/RT has only the "current" value.

Description |
This video demonstrates how to setup a column in a quotepage which monitors the proximity of price to any key price or level. In this example, we demonstrate how to measure the proximity to the previous weeks weekly volume point of control (pWVPOC). This video brings together the features of custom columns, quotepages, user variables, scans, profile indicator, and vertical smoothing.
This video covers the process of importing lists of symbols into Investor/RT, downloading daily and fundamental data, and creating and performing scans on that the imported list and data. It also discusses moving to the next level of performing intraday analysis on the candidates produced by the daily scans.
This video demonstrate how to use a scan to set daily, weekly, and monthly pivots on both day and overnight session.
This video demonstrates the differences between Signals, Custom Indicators, Scans, and Signal Actions.
This video demonstrates how to run a scan at days end to set the VAH, VAL, previous settlement, settlement, high, low, and open into User Variables which are then automatically transferred over to an excel spreadsheet via DDE. In this video, the data is limited to day session data and run on symbols that use different sessions.
Now let's look atthe following scan...
MAFIVE > MATEN AND MAFIVE1 <= MATEN1
The first thing you may notice about this scan expression is that the tokens MAFIVE and MATEN don't exist in the list of available scan tokens. These scan tokens names were the result of the renaming of two different moving average (MA) tokens. This scan required the use of the same token (MA) twice. In order to differentiate the two moving averages, we are required to rename MA.
Now let's look at some other useful scan operators and commands...
The command ROU(expression, n) takes the expression and rounds it based on the number n. For instance, if you supply an n of 0.01, it will round the value (HI + LO) / 2 to the nearest 100th. Similarly, if you specified a value for n of 1, it would have rounded the result to the nearest whole number, and assigned it to V#1.
