Hi Steve, 1. Skipping very active stocks Yes, cutting out the top busy stocks (by setting a max# trades in the Filter) will reduce the data sever bandwidth demand! Check the tick counter in the RIM Views yourself. 2. RIM Normalization Yes, that's one of the most powerfull scanning features in RIM, that it "normalizes" all the events into a percent value and then maintains in realtime a list sorted with the highest value on top, comparing apples with apples! Because if Microsoft(MSFT) is trading 5 Million shares after 2 hours it is no news, but it could be the all time high for a smaller stock, which RIM will then immediatelly show you in Study#1 3. Portfolio Monitor on Top Good suggestion we will plug that in soon... 4. Extra ding Not familiar with that one. When does it exactly occur and what are the circumstances? Check out the Online help: Start/Programs/RIM/RIM Online Help Cheers, Madhur

Hi Steve, 1. PortFolio Monitor and RIM on Top To keep the Portfolio manager on top: Click on "Configure System" and "Edit Configuration file". Then change the "PortTop=No" line into "PortTop=Yes" in the [Sys] section: [Sys] ... RIMTop=No PortTop=Yes When you set "PortTop=Yes" the RIM Window will also automatically stay on top - click on the "Hide" button to hide it. 2. Just RIM Window on Top If you just want to keep the RIM Window in top use "RIMTop=Yes" [Sys] ... RIMTop=Yes PortTop=No Cheers, Madhur

Madhur, I am really enjoying your recent enhancement to let us weight your studies to come up with our own "ranking". I look at and print the ranking three or four times per day, and then that night, look at the results to try to "fine tune" my weighting factors. So far, I am having the most luck weighting study # 4 (Volume/20 day average), and study # 11 (Change up since last close) with the highest weights. When I print the rankings, I get the following printout: Highest Rank across all Studies 52.5 IDTI (09:54:24, 8210(11) to 15640) 49.8 ESTI (10:15:51, 7790(14) to 15640) 48.4 CYMI (09:54:24, 7570(17) to 15640) 47.9 KELL (14:45:52, 7490(15) to 15640) 44.9 MCHP (09:54:24, 7030(11) to 15640) >44.4 CLSR (14:45:52, 6940(17) to 15640) 41.9 INFY (10:15:52, 6550(21) to 15640) 41.3 IRID (09:54:24, 6460(12) to 15640) 40.8 PAIR (09:54:24, 6380(8) to 15640) 39.3 ANDW (09:54:24, 6150(9) to 15640) 37.2 PMCS (14:45:47, 5820(19) to 15640) 37.0 HRBC (14:45:07, 5790(10) to 15640) 35.0 BBBY (09:54:24, 5480(11) to 15640) 34.3 RFMD (09:54:24, 5370(12) to 15640) 33.2 SNRS (14:45:19, 5190(13) to 15640) 33.1 KERA (14:45:46, 5180(12) to 15640) 32.9 QLTI (14:45:07, 5150(10) to 15640) Could you please explain the significance of the columns so I can consider them in my evaluations? Also, I would be interested to know if anyone would like to share how they are weighting the various studies to arrive at investment opportunities. Thanks Jim
