Thanks. That works, of course. I'd like the program to make the adjustments. I have a 4D database that does this, but I'm trying to get out from under 4D and let someone else do the coding. ProTA has so many nice touches that I was surprised at this when I first read it. >I adjust my account entries in ProTA after the sales to show multiple buys all at the same price and date, and then identify the sales accordingly. That actually helps in the tax effect costing.

Last- I checked out your scan that you posted a couple weeks ago and found that it worked ok, but seemed to be less selective than what I like. I have a database of nearly 1000 securities, and I like to see something in the neighborhood of 50 candidates from a scan. I could tinker with it, I'm sure, but I have come to like my own system. I also looked at Cooper's momentum indicator and found that it was TOO selective for my taste, and the stocks that I checked it out on didn't make it look particularly grand. There is a lot to be said for finding a system that suits your taste, and thank God that there are so many people with different likes and dislikes out there. BTW, next time you decide to call a market top, yell loud and clear so that I can take my money and run. pg
