Arctic Mike: Thanks for your link to the Jeff Cooper thread on SI.
I use a scan similar to Darth Trader's. His, translated to the 32-bit version of QP2 is:
output="darth.lst";
DaysToLoad=55;
if Close(0)>max(-1,-50,cl) and
AvgVol(0,-30)>25000 and
Close(0)>5 then;
println Symbol , "," , " Close:", Close(0) , "," , " Vol:", vol(0) , " , " , " PE:", PE , " , " , " QRS:", QRS(0) , "," , " Sharesfloat:", Sharesfloat , "," , description;
endif;
Note the DaysToLoad, which addresses the problem we've been having of scans not scanning properly. It doesn't work if I make the days 50, for some reason, so I increased it a bit.
I've been using this scan of my own:
output="highqrs2.lst";
DaysToLoad=50;
if Close(0)> max(-1,-50,cl) and
qrs(0)>=70 and
PE<50 and
close(0)<20 and
Sharesfloat<=20 and
avgvol(0,-29)>25000 then;
println Symbol , "," , " Close:", Close(0) , "," , " Vol:", vol(0) , " , " , " PE:", PE , " , " , " QRS:", QRS(0) , "," , " Sharesfloat:", Sharesfloat , "," , description;
endif;
I used this as a basis for finding picks in the contest, combined with other scans. As you may have gathered, I didn't come up with many good picks with it, but it may have potential if used more constructively (I seem to have used it destructively). Perhaps you can reveal some of the scans you've been using to strike gold in Alaska.
Oddly enough, I can no longer find the note in which you posted the link to the Cooper site (the Cooper coop). Netscape seems to be doing odd things with the notes I've read on another computer -- deleting them from the list of notes I can read on this computer, making them vanish on SI, but that's another long story. The reason may be that Netscape isn't my default browser on this machine. It's all very fascinating, and makes for absorbing reading, I'm sure.
