HI Brooke, Here's a couple that help me get started with the selection process. I then view the canadates with QP Charts, mostly Wma's of 8,34,89. Qrs is important as well as 21 day moneyflow osc. RSI in good territory. Then to MSWIN for final template and indicator comparisions, much like what dave evans uses. Scans are saved in a profile for easy of loading and running. Scans are run with Reports, "Performance of a List" choosen and set to the scan in progress by percent. The symbols list is not what I view but the report. This is the first scan: output = "prsald10.lst"; float ratio , change , thischange; // You can change the 1.5 to whatever // price to sales ratio you want. ratio := 1.5; // You can use different performance measures // by changing the following line to another value // Use 2 for a double or 3 for a triple etc. change := 1.5; if Close(-10)>0 then thischange := Close(0) / Close(-10); else thischange := 0 endif; if ( PrToSales < ratio ) and ( thischange >= change ) and ( PrToSales > 0 ) then println symbol:-5," Description: ", description:-40," ThisChange: ",thischange:5:3," PrToSales: ",PrToSales:5:3; endif; This is the Second: output="ccibill.lst"; exchange nasdaq, nyse, amex; integer i,N; float CCIT, CCIY, DAT, DAY, AT, AY; N:=13; //Number of periods in CCI calculation //Calculate simple MA of typical price for N periods //for Today and Yesterday. AT/AY are running averages. AT:= 0; for i=1 to N-1 step 1 do AT := AT+close(-i)+high(-i)+low(-i); next i; AY:=(close(-N)+high(-N)+low(-N)+AT)/(3N); //Make sure to calc AY first AT:=(close(0)+high(0)+low(0)+AT)/(3N); //println "AT":4,AT:8:2,"AY":4, AY:8:2 //Calculate simple MA of absolute value of difference between //current typical price and above AT/AY over N periods DAT:=0; DAY:=0; //Must use dual calc below since subtracted value is different (AT vs AY) for i=0 to N-1 step 1 do DAT:=DAT+abs((close(-i)+high(-i)+low(-i))/3-AT); DAY:= DAY+abs((close(-i-1)+high(-i-1)+low(-i-1))/3-AY); next i; if DAT=0 then DAT:=0.0001; else DAT:=DAT/N; endif; if DAY=0 then DAY:=0.0001; else DAY:=DAY/N; endif; I'm getting long winded now so will post more later.

Brooke, your contest picker scan has the Daystoload set to 50, which I assume has been working for you. I had to change it to 55, as you did for Darth's scan. Does the 50 work for you? Are these computer developing individuality? Poor Gary! I do know that my computer knows all my weak spots. It keeps this information in a memory bank that I am not able to access....Drive ^:\ Even Sean's network mapping has not been able to define this drive(he's only made it up to drive W or Y). Tom
