<font size=3>i ran something close to your ROC filter logic and the only
stock I got was WPI..which is incorrect in the data base and i will
inform Equis of the bad ticks and incorrect stock price...even though it
was a mistake..... according to the graph..... it still came close to
meeting your ROC filters as it is on a strong uptrend and has good
news.....i only ran the filters against the sp500.....where did you get
this idea.....<br>

<blockquote type=cite cite>First Problem:<br>
<br>
I want to buy, if the relative strength (e.g.:
ROC(close,65,percent)+ROC(close,130,percent)+ROC(close,260,percent) rises
above 300 and sell 3 months after the buy.<br>
<br>
Therefore, I need to screen the whole S&amp;P500 index to find those
seldom opportunities. Of course, I want to test this system. But
Metastock lets me test only *one* security. I have to test all 499
securities by hand. Can this be done automatically? What am I
missing?<br>
<br>
Second Problem:<br>
<br>
I want Metastock to buy those 5 securities (of the S&amp;P 500) with the
highest relative strength (e.g. formula above) and sell them one year
later, when I want to buy the new strongest securities from that
(hopefully increased) money. <br>
But before I do so, I want Metastock to have that idea tested.<br>
<br>
I found no way to do such a simple test. Is it really impossible?<br>
