  You can't scan directly for Price Performance (aapl:spx).
  
  Some alternatives:
  
  You could use a perfchart with selected symbols. See the link for instructions.
  
  https://stockcharts.com/docs/doku.php?id=other-tools:perfcharts
  
  Or, you could add $SPX to a list of symbols you are interested in, then scan for the list with a last statement "rank by ROC(?)". On the results page, stocks that appear above $SPX have outperformed. Example:
  
  // begin scan
  // purpose: find stocks outperforming the SP500
  // this list contains the symbol $SPX and some biotechs
  
  [favorites list is ???] // My Biotech list
  
  rank by ROC(?)
  
  // end scan
  
  You have to use the Chart Lists drop down on the Technical Scan Workbench to insert the list of your choice.
  
  You need to choose a time period parameter for ROC for comparing performance. A month would be 21, a quarter would be 63.
  
  You can save the list to a new list, or replace the existing list. Either way, check the "Preserve sort order" check box. That will number the results to keep everything in order.
