Richard, How true, I remember you showing us some newsletters from the 70's and you telling us about calculating all the indicators by hand on a daily basis and having hand drawn paper charts. If I had been an investor in that era I would have choosen dart throwing as my method. :) I agree that you should use QP for first looks I have enough indicators in QP so that I can look at a chart for 30 seconds and tell whether its worth further analysis in metastock.....

Richard, I'm still working on learning how MS works, and now I have to learn QP charting sw too??<VBGG> But I guess you and Sean are correct about using QP more for sreening and for preliminary charting. And yes, everything is "Relative" isn't it?...by hand?? I can only barely imagine! And Sean, Yes, I too was wondering about the time to update that many securities daily. A Looong time! Well anyway, I'll start using QP and get some more custom indicators in there. It's just not as easy to read the graphs to me at least... thanks guys for the suggestions, Chris
