Joe,

You Can't create custom groups in QP2 yet but you can do the following.

Scan and pre-defined industry groups. There are many 500+ of these including IRL and SP sector indexes.

IRL - will be coming out soon with native support for QP2. With this you can create sectors and do percentile rankings.

QP2 Does have an API to access their database. There is a DLL subdirectory in the qp2 program directory. In there you will find the dll's and the sample programs for visual basic and visual c++.

Here's a great tip for doing visual relative strength in QP2 Charting.

hit space.

Enter an index symbol or market.

!ID100 - for example

not hit f2. That loads into the speadsheet the components of that index.

Now press the hide button.

then select on the menu: options->overlay

Enter the symbol again:

!ID100

It now overlays the index on the first stock in the index. Now you can use pageup/pagedown keys or arrow buttons to rotate through the charts of the indexes members stocks with the index overlayyed.

You could open a list of say nasdaq stocks.

Then overlay !COMP and visually compare the charts.

BTW: Gary also mentioned Technifilter Plus will be releasing a native QP2 version very shortly. Technifilter has a much more powerful, if a bit cryptic scanning language which should handle your desire.

At least a few things to consider...

Lobby your charting software vendors to support this open standard and eliminate metastock file headaches forever.
