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:

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.

Unless you do very long term weekly/monthly charting, click “Yes” to accept the recommended settings.

"Posting" is the process of recording the current daily prices (seen in the quotepage) into the daily database as the current daily bar. Posting Time is specified in the Session Preferences and is generally setup to occur a minute or two after the session closes. This process is not really needed in the end-of-day case. If you're just downloading your daily data after the session closes, you really have no need to "post".
