Thanks Steve, for your comments. I, too, am
beginning to concentrate on just ETFs and the "daily" funds from Profunds,
Rydex, and Potomac. Hence my desire to isolate just those.
If I had spent more time with the trial I might have tried to get by without
the SPP. but all the pretty red and green boxes got to me and I liked them.
Can I assume that I still would have had access to the ranking scores even if
I had not purchased the SPP?

Hi Ken - I see that Joe has already come up
with a solution for you. When I went back to QP recently, I did
not sign up for SPP since I am now concentrating only on 2x +/-
funds. There are not that many of them so I just created my watchlists by
hand. I did want to get the funds themselves into AB so I could access
them there, but for testing, etc I generally use the benchmark
indices rather than the funds themselves. QP lacks several of these
benchmarks, especially for the foreign markets, so for these I substitute the
most popular ETF's instead.
BTW, if you like the 2x funds, don't
forget about DireXion. Their American funds are 2.5-beta. Also, for
anyone that might not be aware, ProFunds introduced their 2x +/-
ETF's last month. See www.proshares.com for more
info.

Steve:
Many thanks. Now that I am signed up, am
discovering various unfriendly aspects to the program(s) that I guess I did
not discover or try hard enough during the trial period. But I want
the data (mainly the ranks which can be imported into AB) so I will have to
slog thru a learning curve, just like with ..... well ...... AB. I
dont want to do complex things, just isolate ETFs and Rydex/Profunds Mutual
Funds. Should be simple and almost intuitive. It is
not.
Thanks for the response.
Ken
PS: If you dont mind, is the easiest way to get a
Watchlist of the Rydex/Profunds Mutual Funds to import via a lst or txt file
of the symbols??
Ken - By Default, QP plugin does not
retrieve MF's or futures. Go to File > Database Settings >
Configure, check the box for MF's and hit Retrieve.

Maybe this is
obvious, but how do I chart Quotes Plus 3 Mutual
Funds.
I do not see
any data plugin just for QP Mutual Funds.
I am plotting
stocks and ETFs find with the QP3 database. I have mutual fund data
on my drive (can plot with QP charting package), but I do not see how to
make AB do that.
Thanks for
your suggestions.
Ken
