Scanning for stocks *minus* Bonds

in Scanning
I've tried to put [Type is not bonds] (instead of Stocks) but that clause does not exist.
Is there a way to scan for everything minus bonds or bonds ETF for the US AND Canadian Markets?

    OK, found it! For those who want to know, here is the line to add:
    and [ name NOT CONTAINS 'Bond' ]

    I guess grammar is not important here, 'cause I tried "name does not contains..." The "does" was make it useless! 🙂

    The minor drawback, it does include all ETF Bond Funds that don't have the word "Bond". I couldn't figure out that one... 🤔

    In the Indexes and ETF's drop down, ETF's ALL and Add. It will default into the workbench as

    and [group is ETF]

    put a NOT in there and the classified as ETF's should disappear.

    and [group is not ETF]

    On the US and Canadian pick the Exchanges you would like from the Ticker Properties dropdown and Add

    It will default to this

    and [exchange is NYSE]

    you can add multiple exchanges by adding more and putting an OR instead of AND between them so that the code is saying "I want this exchange OR that exchange". If you leave the AND, you probably won't get what you want. An example is below. Notice I added brackets around the whole requirement to make sure the scan engine treats that as a single requirement.

    and [[exchange is NYSE] or [exchange is Nasdaq] or [exchange is TSE]]

    And Help is always a good spot to check for 'acceptable' values and syntax options and examples.
