I'll add my 2 cents as well for the multi column sort feature Dan
suggested. (He has good ideas, that guy!)
Presently I run some explorations on a universe of stocks that output a
variety of information that I can rank stocks with such as RSI, ADX, ATR,
etc. However if I want to sort for (as an example) stocks with a
high ADX and a PDI > MDI, I have to first sort by one criteria, save those to
a watchlist and then run the scan on that watchlist and sort again. Or if
I want Semiconductor stocks with high RSI values, again it takes 2 sorts.
Of course I could have particularized sorts for each combination of criteria,
but that doesn't allow me to see the whole universe in relationship to it's
components. And if I want to rank on 3 criteria, well it's too much bother
most of the time to do so.
The output window is where I spend > 50% of my time in AB, which would
be better spent looking at the charts and what they have to tell me. Or on
the couch with my bride (listening to what she has to tell me
<VBG>).

It is a great thing,
isn't it? Imagine how many hours a week he
spends on all this
stuff. Not to beat a dead horse, but I'm happy to
see such solid
agreement for improving the exploration output window.
I think it is one
place where users spend a huge percentage of their
total time in AB.
Like dingo, I cannot count the number of times,
nor estimate the total time
wasted, resizing those columns. TJ, if
there is a better way, please
nudge it into a higher priority. If
it's impossible, such is
life.
