Gary,
 
The reward-risk ratio is on a per signal 
basis.  Each potential buy signal is ranked by its RR ratio.  

 
RR = potential reward for this trade / potential 
risk for this trade
 
I don't think that's the same as UPI, right 
?

  HB,
   
  Sounds like UPI or similar, yes?  They all seem to do about the 
  same.

    Phsst, no you did not miss it because I 
    never posted it.
     
    My original one is based on a really simple 
    reward/risk ratio.  The higher the ratio, the better.
     
    I'm also going to check out the suggestion of 
    using system's past performance on the stock.  That's how I regularly 
    select my basket, but I never thought of using it to rank.  This would 
    be akin to what Chuck & other have been saying all along.  I.e. 
    don't select a basket, let the ranking sort through all stocks and pick the 
    good ones.

      Phsst. I'm a QP2 user also. But all those QP2GetExtraData variables 
      are not updated daily, so I don't think theywould be useful for a 
      short-term trading system like I was talkingabout. Using PositionScore 
      over a modest time period, you'd get thesame 4 stocks all the time, 
      wouldn't you, or at least until they getupdated. Perhaps QRS gets 
      updated weekly, so maybe that wouldn't be asbad, but I think I'd like 
      something that is more reflective of thetrade system duration, in 
      other words, something that I can updatedaily at EOD. >
