I should have added For ME it's not worth
the trade off yet.
But more skillful folks will surely
benefit. Undoubtedly we'll
have to move to Window 64.

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

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

Description: 5 Year Earnings Per Share Growth The
percentage change in current fiscal year earnings compared to five years
ago fiscal year earnings . Source: Quotes Plus Filter
category: Fund Earnings
- % EPS
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.
