# Younglings

This indicator does not have a chart function - an instrument list can be selected in the settings - the indicator clears this list and fills it with shares that went public 0-15 years ago (adjustable). When the indicator is used in the scanner, it filters the list and puts young shares into the set instrument list.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Since the indicator fetches all instruments in the specified year range into the Agenatrader - longer loading times may occur - the Agenatrader has to load the price data for the entire list.
{% endhint %}

## Filling an instrument list

Any instrument list can be filled with instruments that had their IPO before the (maximum) 0-15 years, the list is first emptied, then all instruments to which the conditions apply are loaded by the indicator and transferred to the AT. To do this, the indicator must be placed in the chart.

Decisive for the filling process is only the setting **Calculation Type** and the specification of an **Instrument List.**

{% hint style="warning" %}
Make sure that no 2 indicators fill the same list - this can lead to unwanted *behaviour, as the indicator cleans the list to be filled beforehand.*
{% endhint %}

## Filtering an instrument list

The Younglings indicator can filter an existing instrument list, for example the previously loaded QoQ list ([4S](/fundamental-growth-addon/indicators/4s.md#filling-an-instrument-list)) for young stocks. To do this, the indicator must be placed in the scanner**.**

![](/files/-MTjPkpzPYbApEN2Bpp5)

Decisive for the filtering process is only the setting **Calculation Type** and the specification of an I**nstrument List**.

{% hint style="info" %}
Filtering adds or removes an instrument from a list depending on whether it meets the condition - it is best to filter into an empty list to get only instruments that actually meet the condition.
{% endhint %}

## Settings

#### List Preferences

* *Instrument List* \[Name]: The set list is emptied and then filled if no list is set - the setting is ignored.
* *Years* \[value]: Up to (maximum) how many years ago the IP may be.

{% hint style="info" %}
If the indicator is in the chart, the set list will be cleared and then filled, if the indicator is in the scanner, only symbols that do not meet the condition will be removed from the set list, and if the condition is met, they will be added to the set list.
{% endhint %}

#### Api-Key

* *Api Key* \[Key]: Is empty if no api key has been set yet, if the api key has already been set in at least one indicator, all others adopt this key

## Return Values

* *Years Since IPO* \[value]: Returns the years that have passed since the IPO.
