Prosearch 5 is a screening program from Telescan, to which I subscribe for data downloads as well, to use with Metastock.

The whole shebang is called Tip at Wall Street.

To your question of my data going over 100% gain in some stocks, and then dropping back, I did end up with about a half dozen stocks which gained from 50 to 92%. If I assumed these had really been stopped at 100% gain, then overall result would have diminished to 12.25% from 13.25% average 3 month stock loss. Here are the raw data from my spreadsheet. I did not have the stock names typed in.
