 Thanks Jim.  
I'll do that and send you the most recent 
note. 
  
Don't know if strength in numbers will help but 
it should! I don't have a count but it's a bit of revenue for 
Gary. 
  
On 64 bits, the trade off of a new windows 
installation vs a stable desk top is not worth it yet.   
  
Best regards 
JOE

  Please add me to the QP3 list as well. I use them for my data 
  source and I would appreciate an x64 plugin with more access to the data 
  provided in QP. Jim Hutchison

    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.
