Automating Earnings Release Scan

in Scanning
I'm current using "and [next earnings date > 20250322] to avoid any earnings from today until March 22 and it is working fine. But, what I would to do when I run a scan is to automatically use today's date + 31 days out as the limitation for any E/R's. Thus, I can avoid re-entering a date every time I run this scan. Thanks

    It doesn't look like 'nextearningsdate' has been coded to accept calculations. If you add "+ 10 days" or "+ 00000010" it gives you an error.

    This works

    [group is sp500]
    and [next earnings date > 20250323]
    and [next earnings date < 20250423]

    In other words, "<" works with next earnings date even though its undocumented. So you can request earnings date within a particular range.

    But, that doesn't help with the edit problem. There doesn't seem to be a way to make the scan generic.

    You could send in a suggestion to Support. It's a good idea and you can't be the only one who would find it useful. Ask them if there is a way they could do

    and [next earnings date > today + 30 days]

    and while they are at it, also

    and [next earnings date < today + 60 days]


    or something similar.

    p.s. this works, too, although the "=" is undocumented

    and [next earnings date = 20250325]

    Thanks for the feedback. I'll work up a request for them to include this in a future update
