Good Morning Ara. Thanks and I've gotten 5
more QP users from the forum who are interested in
being on the distribution.
From a note that Dan got from Gary it
looks like they'll have to work the interface for
the 64 bit plug in and we should get our
requirements in while they are working on it.
It would be a nicety to get the CANSLIM filter working as native AB, but for that you
need 2 fields at
least - CQIE and CYIE. For now I can clip
and paste from Stock Picker Pro. BUT if those
2 fields were arrays then it would be Great as
we could back test a CANSLIM strategy. I had my doubts
about the claims IBD and AAII were making.
They had a good year but I think it fell apart in 2004 or was it
2005.
I have a muddled recollection from one of the
notes that more QP fields may be open to whoever wants to
work on the DLL. I'll check with Tomasz to
see if that's correct.

Joe,
I agree that we should get QP to enhance their
API so all fields are
available.
Since we now have a betteridea of
the QP user group (thanks to you), we may
be able to carry a bit more
weight.
