How to use non-technical data types in scanning
You can use these conditions together with classic technical things like indicators or price action. For example, you can search for any US equity that has experienced either a forward or reverse split by grouping the conditions together into one and selecting any as the operator. You may also incorporate these new operators into your other technical scans.
