Bill--- In my case I have to go through MS in order to get to my Elwave pgm. And my experience has been that each time a TC batch is converted to MS, the symbols don't automatically disappear (or get updated) if a new batch is converted to MS say a few days later (if I wanted to look at a different batch). So, in effect, one would appear to need a large enough base batch to get converted to MS at the beginning so that there would be no need for new batchs. Otherwise my impression is that the MS folders would get cluttered with a zillion symbols, many updated to different dates Same situation with GET.IF AAPL went across in the first batch last week, and now I wanted to export another scan that didn't happen to include AAPL, I'd probably find AAPL in GET still there but updated only to last week, not this week. The new scan list wouldn't automatically purge the old scan list. Then if I ran a 3rd scan in TC 2 weeks later and that one happened to include AAPL again, when I looked in GET I'd probably see 2 AAPL lines in my data list and each one updated to a different date. Carry the process on for a few months of looking at different scans to export and one would likely find the MS and GET datalists totally unweildy. The solution would be to export a large scan list over in the first place so that it would include any likely symbol that one might find interesting to look at in future. For me, that could involve 5000 since I'd never know when I'd want to look at one of them, Conceivably any NYSE or Nasdaq stock with annual revenue above $50mm and avg daily trading volume above 50,000 might be a candidate. In TC's marketing writeup on thier web site, the section on scans indicated , as I recall, that 75% of issues passed the $94mm revenue cutoff bar? (I'll check that again) |
