Need help getting QP to run consistently under NT 4.0. Something like half the time, when I try to start the QP chart program I get an illegal instruction fault under NT 4.0. I have the same problem with other QP components, but don't run them as often. I've called tech support, and the only way they know to solve the problem is to clear everything out of the [initial] section of quotplus.ini and reboot. I just plain can't afford to reboot several times a day, and besides the fix is temporary. So far I haven't been able to pin down exactly what brings this on, though I suspect it involves running other 16-bit programs. Last night the update database program failed, so I ran rebuild database which failed in the middle. Apparently now the database is toast. I can rebuild the database from the downloads (which I save routinely). But in short this is getting serious. Has anyone else had this sort of problem? Does anyone have a solution? Tech support says 2.0 doesn't have the problem because it's all 32-bit code, but you can't get it, nyah nyah nyah (well, I admit they didn't put it quite that way, but that was the gist of it). BTW, I run all 16-bit programs in a separate virtual machine. I really want to get going on this close(+1)>close(0)+3 scan <gggg>. It looks even better than what I always wished for, which is Tuesday's paper on Monday afternoon (about 2:00 or so is fine). What the heck - I can get Sunday's paper on Saturday PM, so why not? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Spots

Alex - I loved your scan, (and have one for you) and checked out the results against tomorrow's Wall Street Journal! Looks Good!! Seriously, I just came up with a scan that picks at least 3-4 day winners at about 80-85%. I have not Looped back weeks and weeks yet, but will soon. The scan is in QPR1, and simply looks for a rising stock with a single big volume surge. Tell me if you get the same results: //Magic(?) Bullet Scan loop(-5,-15) Allgroup Vol(0)>MovAvg(-1,22,vol)*10 Close(0)>Close(-1) MovAvg(0,50,cl)>MovAvg(-1,50,cl) qrs(-1)>80 Suggestions welcomed, but this seems to work remarkably well on the few it turns up. Naturally, I would normally loop this from 0 to -3 to find future risers.
