Bob: thanks and your reply "looks like" a very important consideration for
me to use---however, I do not understand what you have said.  
 
It seems to say you switched to TC from QP3 because TC can sort LESS data
than QP3??????   It doesn't make sense.  
 
Could you share a little more detail about this specific and what it means
for "Gary to still be in 2002 mode"??
 
Again, this sounds important and I want to be sure to understand what you
are saying.
 
Thanks,
 
Ken

I switched  after 6 years from QP3 to TC last year because IMO Gary was
still in 2002 mode.
Although you can get more 'extra data' from QP3, you lose the ability to
[within TC] sort on far more 'extra data'.

Hello:  I am evaluating a trial copy of QP3.  My current and long standing
sub on TC2005 runs out on 9/3.  I have read Dan Clarks excellent review and
reasoning why he canceled TC2005 and subscribed to QP3.
 
Right now I am somewhat overwhelmed by all of the "parameters" that show up
in the StockPickerPro.  I am struggling with how to use the filters and view
controls and the Help files are not the greatest.  But those are not my
questions.
 
I understand from a previous message (which I can not locate at the moment)
that you can download a lot more parameters (fields??) from QP3 than from
TC2005.  Can you download and use the various Ranking fields, like EPS Rk,
RS Rk, Grp Rk.   I am most interested in this and whether one can stick the
QP3 ranks into Amibroker Explorations.  I am somewhat less interested in
getting the actual EPS numbers into AB vs the EPS RANK numbers.
 
I would appreciate knowing how to do this and if someone could let me know
it is possible and perhaps point to any past messages on this topic, I would
be most grateful.
 
Thanks,
 
Ken
