Thanks for your terrific respose. Much appreciated, well thought out
and some food for thought. So it seems that WL does not read the QP
data at all? It just takes the ticker list file, and fills it with
data from Yahoo or some other backfill. Hmmm.. Would love to get
some of the QP fundamentals into WL, as the QP fundies are one of it's
great strengths and the reason I chose them over others. I can
envision a whole series of "what-if's" in regards any system, and am
not confident that the QP scans can facilitate this dynamic testing.
Your suggestion that you do all of your pre-scanning within QP is
interesting, and then use WL as (presumably) a charting tool. My
readings of WL info has shown me that it is primarily a system
building and testing tool, but your use of it seems to bypass or under
utilise these strengths. I'll have to look at the QP scripting, but
am aware that there is nowhere near the support for it that you will
find for AmiBroker, WL and others.
Thanks again for your help,
Matt.
