Re: [amibroker] NASDAQ/NYSE Stock Screen

["Richard Alford" <richard.alford@xxxx>]

I did not filter the scan, however they are the 
stocks is QP2 and I think qp2 does some selection but I don't know what that may 
be.  Actually, I think I included the exact scan I used in the previous 
communication.
 
I just realized, thanks to the WONDERFULLY 
IMPROVED HELP IN 4.0!  (Yelling intentional :) ) that you cando 
something similar in AB by defining a filter for the "market".  I am 
currently doing a Exploration in AB with the following code - crude but it 
appears to work.
------------

Filter = Close >0<FONT 
size=1>;NumColumns=1<FONT 
size=1>;Column0=<FONT color=#0000ff 
size=1>MarketID(<FONT color=#ff00ff 
size=1>1);-----
... finished.
It took significantly longer than the QP2 scan, a 
little less than 5 min, but that is probably to be expected.  Surprisingly, 
the AB nasdaq file had some 4182 symbols, whereas the QP2 had 3767 
symbols.  Some may be explained by the recent number of disappearing stocks 
- ENE, WBC etc, however, I don't find those on either list.
Cheers,
Richard

Thanks so much, Richard. The text files you sent contained a total of 
5605 tickers when combined. Certainly, there are more than that in the NYSE 
and NAZ. Before you created these files, did you do a further filter?

One solution is to do a QP2 scan for 
example,
Output="NYSE.txt";
IssueType = 
common;Exchange=NYSE;        
//AMEX,NASDAQ; // with the appropriate choice
println symbol;
 
and subsequently import the result into a watch 
list in AB to use as a filter. Of course you could also exclude thinly 
traded stocks if you choose.
 
I took the liberty of attaching the results for 
the NYSE & NASDAQ.
 
Cheers
 
Richard

Hi, All:Sorry in advance for this brain warp 
because the question certainly has been asked before, but I can't 
remember the answer, I don't know how to search for it, so I'm going 
to ask it again. I use QP2 as my data source, so I have over 9000 
stocks in my database (and of course there's all those indices and 
mutual funds, too). I'd like to limit the stocks I scan to only those 
belonging to the NASDAQ and the NYSE (not the AMEX or any other 
exchange). I know how to further filter on things like volume, price, 
etc., but how do I limit my universe to only those in the mentioned 
exchanges? Thanks, folks. I'm sure as soon as I press the send button, 
the answer will dawn on me. Al V.Your use of
