Larry: I use TC2000 Version 3 to calculate Strong Fund, Uptrend, and other indicators. Strong fund: A fund with price increase in last two months annualized to 24% or more. This can be done using Excel. Uptrend: An uptrend is a positive slope (derivative). Since the price is not a smooth continuous function, it must be calculated by a finite difference approximation. I use a composite finite difference approximation, and confirm the calculation by another composite finite difference approximation which must have a time shift from the first approximation. I can use any composite finite difference approximation, provided it be confirmed by the second approximation which is out of phase from the first approximation. The basic TC2000 scans were posted in the Fund Switching thread. This can be done using Excel by a good spreadsheet person, but TC2000 is much easier. I use TC2000 Version 4 to calculate Top 15% and bottom 15% numbers. The basic TC2000 scan was posted on the TC2000 thread. This is very heavy duty calculation, not designed for Excel. Julius
