Roy,

It appears that the formula is too complex for me to
understand. 

I find it really intriguing that this is such a common
technique for scanning for stocks to buy but yet no
metastock formula is freely available. I saw some
sites selling the formula though. How does the
Metastock community expects to grow with such limited
sharing of formulas? Isn't this site geared to solve
such a situation?

Any thoughts on the statement?

Alex
