Other than for specific stocks, I don't know of any 'more profitable analysis' they have uncovered for screening purposes. Catlady informed me about a GA package made to find patterns in a stocks history a few months ago. It is available at foretrade.com and has a free demo that you can download. It uses Ward Systems GeneHunter GA engine combined with Excel to find simple patterns such as C > C 5 days ago And H < H 12 days ago. Although these can't be considered a trading system, I have used it to find many tradable setups in a few volatile stocks. Most imporatantly the pattern held up well in out of sample testing. You can optimize based on Average Profit, Success Rate, Profit and a Mix of Profit and Success Rate. Average profit has worked best for me although the patterns trade less. I one wants to play with a GA this is a very easy way to do it. It is well worth the free trial time and is reasonable priced at around 200 US (I think) if you wish to purchase it. Optim
