This video demonstrates how to setup a column in a quotepage which monitors the proximity of price to any key price or level. In this example, we demonstrate how to measure the proximity to the previous weeks weekly volume point of control (pWVPOC). This video brings together the features of custom columns, quotepages, user variables, scans, profile indicator, and vertical smoothing.
Custom Quotepage Columns have long been a very impressive feature of Investor/RT, empowering users to create columns of customized data with colored cells and a wealth of other functionality. But for the first decade of their existence, an underlying calculation inefficiency has greatly limited this powerful functionality to a small fraction of its true potential. The doors have now been blown wide open with the addition of a persistent data option. Data persistence now allows custom columns to calculate extremely efficiently with minimal load on the processor.

This tutorial will demonstrate how to quickly add Custom Columns to a quotepage which, in this instance, displays the distance (in standard deviations) of the current price from the linear regression (best fit) line of the past 20 bars. This tutorial will make use of the Technical Indicator "Linear Regression Forecast", but can be generalized to use any of the built-in technical indicators, as well as any custom indicator, scan, trading signal, or built-in quotepage column. You could use this same concept to dynamically show....the distance of current price from the 30 day moving average...the value of the 13-minute CCI with background of cell green when above 100, red when below -100....the 60 minute or 60 day percent change...a moving average crossover on the previous 5-minute bar....the total number of 5-minute up-bars in the current trading session...the total volume of the first 30-minutes of trading for current session....and on and on.
