Subject: 	scanning pair-trades with the radarscreen

Dear Sirs,

my Name is Sven Hedrich. I'am working at Value Management & Research, a
finanacial firm in Frankfurt/Germany. 2 months ago we decided to buy TradeStation 2000i.

While working with the software we had the idea to screen the spread (x/y) of several stock
combinations in order to get good ideas for pair trades. Unfortunately
it is very unconfortable to have more than 100 charts open at 
the same time. That's why we came up with the idea to do the screening
process with the RadarScreen. Unfortunately, the EasyLanguage HelpDesk
told us that at the present time it is not possible to make multi-symbol
calculations within RadarScreen. They also told us that this type of
calculation would require the use of custom Functions and Global
Variables, and that the official Omega Research Solution Providers could
help us out programming these.

Our questions:

	Could you help us with this problem?
	How many combinations could you screen? Are there any
	System-requirements to consider (RAM)?
	How long would it take to programm such a solution?
	What would be the expected costs?

	As Omega does not provide (in our opinion) a user-friendly and 
		detailed User-Manual for Easy Language. we also would 
		like to know if there is any Literature about programming 
		the Software that you would recommend.

Thanks a lot for your help

Sven Hedrich
