Hello there - Guess we have some common interest. CANSLIM
first.
I'm assuming you have Stock Picker Pro installed with your QP3? It
comes with the QP3 CD for no additional charge.
SPP has dozens of filters, one of which is called CANSLIM.
I've attached a screen shot and you'll see that at least 2 of the data
fields needed are not exposed by the AB plugin that Tomasz has
provided us, like CQIE and CYIE. A couple of options 1) if
important enough maybe we could talk Tomasz into adding
those 2 extra fields in the plug in, or 2) ask someone who has the skills
with the AB SDK could take the plug in
and extend it for those 2 fields. I've never fired up the SDK myself and
not sure I have all the elements in my development desktop
to do this. I run the CANSLIM filter on QP3 and get
somewheres around 175-200 good stocks every day that form a small
universe of
stocks with good fundamentals and price change momentum.
3) EPS is an array and if you plot it you'll
see it changes every quarter. So by either running an explore or a plot
you can
see if Ref(EPSarray,-66) works or not. I'd take it
outside the reference function just to be conservative like
EPSArray = GetExtradata("EPS");
1) and 2) Lots of good documentation
in SPP, like the following that should remove any doubt in your mind as
to what the fields are.
We had a 'birds of a feather' meeting at the
Amibroker Conference in Houston and there were about 12 QP3 users there.
I have a distribution
list that I'm adding your name to and if you don't want to be copied on
some of our mailings please let me know and I'll take you off it.
Dan Clark is very active and has been providing information for the
forum, to our group and feed back to the owner of Quotes Plus, hopefully
to some avail.
Hope this helps.
Joe

CYIE
Description: Continuous Yearly
Improvement in Earnings Per Share
The objective is to find securities with year after year of continuous
EPS growth for the past 3 years. The year is based on a trailing twelve
month
(TTM
) basis. The yearly difference between
the most recent EPS quarter and the same quarter a year ago is computed.
This backwards computation is done to arrive at 4 yearly EPS
values. If the difference for most recent yearly EPS value is
greater than the previous year (not equal) we add one to the count.
This type of backwards comparison goes on until one of two events occur:
- All 3 yearly time periods have been processed or
- The security fails with a yearly comparison that doesn't increase,
the process will stop and the count is recorded
The process results in a number from 0 – 3. A security with
consecutive upward yearly progress will get a value of 3 (3 years of
steady upward

- I have a few questions about the fundamental data coming out of
QP3
- that I hoped someone here could answer:
- I'm pretty sure that sales and sharesfloat are reported in millions
- (e.g. "1.2" means 1,200,000), and sharesshort are reported
in
- thousands (e.g. "1,200" means 1,200,000), but I don't know
about
- some of the others.
- 1) TTMSales? I can't think of any way to make this a real
number.
- 2) TTMEPS? It looks like it could just be normal, but I'd like to
- make sure.
- 3) Earnings growth numbers (Y1, Y5, and projections)? One would
- expect percentage (e.g. "12" = 12%), is this the
case?
- One final question: Since "EPS" is an array, does that mean
I can
- get historical EPS by using Ref(GetExtraData("EPS"),-#)? If
so, I've
- tried that and it didn't seem to work. Is there another way to do
it?
- I'm trying to set up some sort of CANSLIM type of exploration. So,
- if anyone has any ideas on that, I would really appreciate the
help.
- Thank you.
