Hi Joe,
 
Thanks! I'm actually just getting started on this - I have a couple of books on the way, but I thought maybe I could get a little head start if I knew the answers to a couple of basic questions. Since I know practically nothing about it, I think it would be good to learn a bit before trying to discuss it with others. I will hang on to your message and follow up with you after I have had a chance to educate myself. Thanks again!
 
Steve

Steve - For a tradable universe of mutual funds I've seen other fund traders in the FastTrack community screening to find funds that 1)are open, 2) retail not institutional, 3) low or no load, 4) not precious metals, 5) not bonds, low minimum (<$250,000, 6) not closed. etc.     
 
Let me know if this interests you.
 
Best regards
Joe

Hi Bill - thanks for the reply. I was thinking along those lines myself. I considered a few few options for filtering - profitabilty with certain indicators, volatility over the last X periods, etc, and I guess I will go with something like this.
 
But now I am wondering about fund volume - I mean, even though it is not reported, it seems there must be a volume, in the sense that so many units get traded on any given day. If a stock only traded 10,000 units/day, I would not trade it for obvious reasons. With funds, isn't there any reason to be concerned about this?

Hi All,
 
I am starting to look at funds. With stocks, my first step is to filter out a "tradable universe" of stocks based largely on volume. With funds, we only have close (NAV). Would anyone be willing to share how they go about creating a tradable universe of funds? Thanks very much!
