HB,

I looked and could not find where you posted your favorite
Positionscore method. 

Did I miss it?

GetExtraData variables are not updated daily, so I don't think they
would be useful for a short-term trading system like I was talking
about. Using PositionScore over a modest time period, you'd get the
same 4 stocks all the time, wouldn't you, or at least until they get
updated. Perhaps QRS gets updated weekly, so maybe that wouldn't be as
bad, but I think I'd like something that is more reflective of the
trade system duration, in other words, something that I can update
daily at EOD.
