AIQ is coming out with a product the end of December 97 called the Expert
Design Studio. It is very easy to use and does not require the programming
language education of TradeStation. I have been alpha testing this since
February 97 and it was officially announced at the AIQ Tahoe Seminar the end
of September 97. It will do all of what you want it to below, plus it is
extremely fast!. I can scan my database of 1500+ stocks for any type
pattern I want and it takes about 1-2 minutes (fastest on 233 mhz and
slowest on 486). As you are scanning, when it finds a stock that meets your
criteria, you can chart it in AIQ as EDS continues to scan.
This will be the "competition killer" in my mind. There is no other
software product on the market in the price range of AIQ that comes close to
this new Expert Design Studio module.

I scan all 10000 stocks with a filter that looks for stocks that meet my
volatility and price criteria. I usually look for stocks where >10% of the

These I find useful for daytrading. I only need to scan the list
occasionally to build a custom data list I work with each day. I ran the
scan today and got 355 stocks that met those criteria.

Let me know if you can do this. It is pretty painful to do it manually.

Good idea.
