DT & b,

Thanks, but my intent was to allow for backtesting
with such a filter--i.e. run the backtester to
see what the performance would have been had the
filter you mention been applied and, say, the top 
3 stocks chosen. b, not sure if you could write
a plug-in for this since outside calls are limited
to stock prices info (i.e. you can't call backtester
engine).

Does anyone else see the value in such a feature?

Thanks,

Walid
