Looking for a legit stock picking advisory that picks stocks for the short term (or swing trading) that makes at least 30% annually. Any out there? Here are a couple that I've been checking out that you may want to comment on. Thank you... http://www.stockpickssystem.com...

I use Amibroker and looking to incorporate the S&P500 stock list from year 2000. That is, I like each year's updates of what stocks comprise the S&P500 for my back-testing purposes. A comma deliminated group of each year's stocks would be preferred. I know they are updated more often but...

Since Wealth-Lab is killing themselves in the foot with this Fidelity thing, I'm trying to convert the following Wealth Lab-4 Chartscript to Amibroker. Any help? I would pay... http://wl4.wealth-lab.com/cgi-bin/WealthLab.DLL/editsystem?id=13668

Yeah, I knew it would be too good to be true. You never know with these services unless you check them out. They do have some limited technicals like moving averages but probably not enough to weather a bear market for *higher* volume stocks.

What's your sim? The problems I have are that they don't work in the bear market years (around 2001, 2002). 200000 is too low for me. I've traded stocks like those before and I encountered sitting on my hands waiting for my limit order to go through on the ask price. 500,000 might work...

Well, I've been copying simulations for a week now, changing them with: PctAvgDailyTot(20) < 1 and all of them have problems...

I just started my free month trial and can't find any large cap screens. They are all geared for low volume stocks. No good. Actually, I don't mind if they are small or mid either just as long as they are tradable for my portfolio. I posted this on their website but no one had a screen...

Something is fishy about this service and I don't know what it is. Their downloadable screen software seems pretty elaborate except for decent graphing. I tried their best screens with minor modifications to reflect a decent average volume range (> one million). One called Upgrades and Revisions...

AAII has a screen from Martin Zweig. It has made on average over 40% since 1998. http://www.aaii.com/stockscreens/

Amibroker looks good but I don't see a lot of scripts for it..

Thanks for your inputs. It looks like Wealth-Lab and Tradestation have the most support for scripts. Am I correct when I say that Wealth-Lab can scan and backtests with a bucket full of stocks? Tradestation only scans and backtests with one stock at a time.

I've have a personal stock blog that lists the broker ratings from this site. This might help people who are initially looking at brokers... http://senft.ws/stocks.php
