Hi Thomasz, 

Good Point. Thanks.

I assume this means that AFL is NOT useful in reducing the effective
number of tickers, as I had suggested?

As a point of interest we are now at 3204 out of 4851 and in hour
46!

Regards, 

Hal

Hal,

Try to narrow the range of optimization (increase Min and decrease Max
value) -
you will get less steps and quicker execution.

Hi Hal,
Is it possible to give us the parameters and the formula
of your Optimization ?
Best Regards
