The following is output from a Release 1 QPlus scan. (Symbol) (Close) (Vol)(MoneyFlow) ASND 28.94 301460 -855551 (day -0) ASND 26.88 175110 -641612 (day -1) ASND 23.62 60618 -730150 (day -2) ASND 23.75 39502 -768037 (day -3) ASND 25.56 33686 -731573 (day -4) ASND 24.94 10461 -751320 (day -5) Can someone explain why moneyflow(0) drops 213939 on day -0 when the stock rose 2 1/16 on 30.145 million shares. The Qplus display program also shows this 213939 drop on the latest day in Cumulative MoneyFlow with a variety of time periods (10,11,12,20,30). I guess I don't understand what the formula for moneyflow is. Also, as the moneyflow numbers change in the display program when I change the number of periods (and this makes sense since this is a cumulative variable) where is the number of periods set when I do a scan which references moneyflow?

Herb, SIC is still available as a scan variable, but you can also select lists directly by SIC or IRL (Industry Monitors). IRL isn't on the list of scan variables. >How long is the short description of each company? -half page. All fundamentals are downloaded on Saturday. Doubt that MG updates daily. Since MG doesn't differentiate SmallCap, 'NASDAQ' gives the bunch. Re 'common', looks like a bug in r1, I get your 6 plus !DJSI from ------------------ IssueType Common close(0) > 0 ------------------ Since r2 allows input="common.lst", I use the list generated from ----------------------- Output = "common.lst"; IssueType Common; If close(0) < 100000 then println symbol; endif; ----------------------- to keep from scanning the !s each time--no !s show in the r2 output.

Has SIC been dropped as a data variable as it's not in the list of variables shown at the QPlus site? It's still in R2, just not on the web site. Are the 200 industry groups provided by Industry Monitors a number and a descriptive string? The description is 2 strings, a sector and industry i.e Information - Computers-Local Networks Information - Computers - Health Financial - - Banking Southeast etc. How long is the short description of each company? Is it more than the name of the company in Release 1? Same as r1 Are price to sales (PSR), and beta updated in the database each day since they usually would change somewhat each day? Or does the system just calculate them when scans ask for them? Calculated when requested. Does the variable 'Nasdaq'(for EXCHANGE) differentiate Small Cap from National Listing, bunch them together, or just omit the Small Cap stocks? Not differentiated - Small cap and National are both NASDAQ Gary
