Custom Column: Days Until Earnings

12/10/13

This custom quote displays the number of days until earnings (shown above in the last column). If earnings are after market close then it adds .5 to the number; otherwise, it ends in .0 when earnings are before market open.

• Examples-
• TOL = 0.0: earnings were today before market open
• COST = 1.0: tomorrow before open
• CIEN = 2.0: day after tomorrow before open
• ADBE = 2.5: day after tomorrow after close
