Derek,

I only do my scans in QP because WOW 2.11 doesn't have scanning abilities, so I haven't been keeping large numbers of stocks in "secondary" databases. I have just been outputting stocks in MS format for final, manual scanning in WOW on a daily basis. Since the stocks change daily, I haven't been updating MS files, only outputing new ones, because I incorrectly thought that QP maintained a database from the date of installation. The only reason I noticed it is because last month I had output some scan results onto floppy and was comparing the chart from last month with one that I output today to see if what I had expected to happen did. I've only lost about two months of data due to "first in first out" and actually it's on the cdrom so I can probably pull it back off and merge it.

Since I don't know what's going to be strong next year and Richard recommends at least three years of data to look at I need to set up another database in preparation for next year, or use only two years of data on issues that aren't strong enough to make this years IBD 80 rsi/80 eps, but do make it next year. Or, QP needs to add another service to provide additional historical data on an issue by issue basis beyond 2 years. Since I have enough hardrive space, I think I'll just start working on the database now.

Thanks.

Live-n-Learn

Chris
