Al: Your Magic Bullet Scan is a great scan, and I've translated it for QP2. Would you mind my posting it (with your name as author, of course) at:

geocities.com

I've made the output look something like this (I edited out some of the stuff after volume to make it fit this note):

ARTC BUY: Close: 14.000 , Day: -3 Up/Down: 1.500, Volume:
AW BUY: Close: 3.688 , Day: -1 Up/Down: -0.062, Volume:
AXR BUY: Close: 8.250 , Day: -3 Up/Down: -0.375, Volume:
AXR BUY: Close: 8.250 , Day: -2 Up/Down: -0.375, Volume:
BNSOF BUY: Close: 6.625 , Day: -2 Up/Down: -0.375, Volume:
BRL BUY: Close: 38.500 , Day: -1 Up/Down: -1.312, Volume:
CALGL BUY: Close: 26.500 , Day: -3 Up/Down: 0.000, Volume: 0
CSC *BUY: Close: 103.875, Day: 0 Up/Down: 11.688, Volume:

If the conditions of the scan are met today, there's an asterisk before "BUY."

Here's the scan:
