SCTR table for my stock list

Is there a way of getting a table of my stocks and their SCTR score so I could sort my watchlist by score. It would be very helpful.

Thank you

    Open your list in "Summary view".

    Check the names of the column headings. One of them may be SCTR. If so, click on the up/dn arrow icon next to the column heading (SCTR) to sort the list in ascending or descending order by SCTR.

    If you do not see a column headed 'SCTR", look to the left at the top of the list and click on 'Columns'. Find SCTR and click on it. The SCTR column will appear.

    If you want to save your list in the SCTR order, follow @markd 's instructions from above and then sort your list in SCTR order. Then scroll all the way to the bottom of the list and click on the Number in Sorted Order button. This will put a number in front of the name field of your list.

    Then you list will show in this order in the other views, like Chartlist View, GalleryView, CandleGlance, etc

    To change the sorted order in Summary View, click on another column or the same column to sort on, re-sort it and then scroll to the bottom and click the Number in Sorted Order.

    To remove the numbering you would go into Edit view of the chartlist and then click the Select All button to put a checkmark in all the members of the list. Then click on the last icon to the right of the Select All button to remove the numbering.

    Agree with @lmkwin's comments, but keep in mind the SCTR values change over time. If you number the list, the numbers will not automatically change with SCTR values, so remember to re-number maybe once a week.

    Another thing on Summary View columns is that you have the SMA50 and SMA200 columns available to display. If you have your SCTR column and the other 2, if you sort by SCTR you can see how far extended from the SMAs the price is. You may note that the higher the SCTR ranking the more extended above the price is from the 50 and 200. Often, a good time to consider action is when the price is closer to the MA's.

    SCTR gives 60% weighting to the long term, 30% to the intermediate and 10% to the short term. It's actually a nifty way to rank. I don't use it for anything but I do appreciate the concept.
