Grid Query Interface

Control Layout

The Grid Query is similar to the Fundamentals grid in that it displays one stock per row and each colum contains useful information about that stock.

The Grid Query title bar displays the number of results returned from the query. In the window shown below, there were 216 results returned.

The column names are a little more cryptic than the Fundamentals grid, however, so please find their meanings below:

Symbol – the market symbol
Price – the price of the stock
SCAN – the price change in the last 30 minutes
PERCENT – the percent change in the last ‘n’ days (where ‘n’ is set in query parameters)
CHG – the absolute price change in the last ‘n’ days (where ‘n’ is set in query parameters)
BS – Buy (Accumulated) trades since the open
SS – Sell (Distributed) trades since the open
BA – Buy trade frequency acceleration
SA – Sell trade frequency acceleration
BT – Buy trade total in the last 60 seconds
ST – Sell trade total in the last 60 seconds
CHART – 30 minute chart on 5 second interval
VWP – Volume Weighted Average Price
VDL – Current price vs. Volume Weighted Average Price
TREND – Price trend on 5 second interval

By default, many of these columns are initially hidden. See below for information on how to unhide or hide columns.

Much of the data is color coded, with green highlighting positive and red highlighting negative numbers.

User Interaction

Setting up a Query

When the Query Grid window is first opened the display will be blank. You must set the query parameters first. To set the query parameters, right click on the Grid Query title bar and select ‘Settings”. Select your query settings and when finished click “Close”. ClearView will then query the entire market for activity that matches the selection criteria you have chosen. This process is covered in more detail in the Grid Query Settings section

Managing Columns

You may select a column by which to sort the data by clicking on the appropriate column header. The column will be sorted in descending order by default, but clicking the column header will toggle it to ascending order.

By default, only a select few columns are shown initially. To select more columns for your Grid Watch, right-click on a column header as shown below:

The first option is "Hide" which will hide the column you clicked to bring up the popup menu.

Following "Hide" is a list of all columns not currently displayed. Clicking on one of these menu items will add that column and its corresponding data to the grid.
