Calculating fundamental ratios

   BullScan allows you to scan on a numer of fundamentals including market cap, NTA, etc.

Analysts use a variety of ratios in evaluating securities. It is
possible to use BullScript to construct approximations to these ratios
in BullScan.

For example, some customers have been wanting to calculate Return On
Equity, which can be approximated as Earnings per Shared divided by Net
Tangible Assets.

To do this:

  Create a new scan criteria
  Select "Uses BullScript"
  Enter "Security.EPS / Security.NTA" (without quotes) into the BullScript text box.
  Set up the rest of the criteria as desired.

To get a complete list of how to use the various fundamental values in
BullScript, take a look at the "Security variables" page in the Getting
Started with BullScript help notes.
