<DIV><FONT size=2>An update, I hate beating a vendor in public and then walking
away when they do the right thing. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>ProphetDirect called my house *twice* today to follow up on my
issue. I'm impressed. Normally it's one message and tag, your it. Brenda figured
out I set up my downloader with the 6.5 version(and lower) instructions. Should
have used the 6.51(and higher)...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Who'd a thunk. Anyway, 3 minutes with Brenda from tech got me
fixed up and it works like a charm. So...6.52 Downloader will work. Nice effort
from ProphetDirect.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Just signed up for a trial of prophetdirect data. The Equis
downloader procedure they have on their website doesn't work on the 6.52ver
downloader. Equis says their use of the DialData tab in downloader
was 'busted' by a recent change. My three calls to tech support at
prophetdirect did not get a return call (mine was mid afternoon on a Friday,
frankly I was surprised anyone even answered the phone). Anyone else have the
fix for this yet so I can try it out this weekend?</FONT></DIV>

Use industry groups. Go with issues from the strongest groups.
Use relative strength in Explorer.
You could also add a filter to any explorations that weed out stocks
with low volume
and/or price under a certain amount.
BTW, there are much better ways of an RS exploration then the MS
default. Go with what fits your trading style.
