    Jerry, Can I suggest a meeting halfway in light of your point "We do not pole Yahoo, nor want to for every symbol in your portfolio" And my point: "Yahoo is available to all and for virtually all markets. and therefore universally useful" and that identifying a 200 MAV approaching is...

    Cause and Effect

    Same as any business, if you are going to buy something ask; is it revenue generating or time freeing to justify that cost. Money freed up from cost control is like Manna from heave compared to money obtained fighting competitors/other traders. Avoid false economy. People trading size don't...

    Who on this forum you learned the most from?

    Cutten, FT71, Maverick74 and others on trading. Many others on the hardware and software issues. This is the stuff I come here for mostly. Saved myself going up a lot of blind alleys.

    I acknowledge your point, but I feel there is a case for this as I have seen soooooooooo many requests on ET for the ability to find stocks near MAV that I feel you should consider adding this capability, especially as Yahoo is available to all and for virtually all markets. I am using QT for...

    Jerry, I understand your point but Yahoo already does it. QT does not have to calculate it just has to take the field from Yahoo. I am only suggesting the ability to display the field in users portfolio, not scan the whole market. I would then be able to rank by % as with other fields. Being...

    Jerry If you look on ET you will se a lot of people asking for some kind of scan for when a stock is near it's 200 day MAV. If you look 200 and 50 day MAV are available from Yahoo finance AND even better the % to MAV are also available. Unfortunately this is not a field available in QT...

    What else do I need To set up 4 monitors

    Dumb question: Will PCIe card run in a PCI slot. I would not expect to get the PCIe performance benefit but was wondering if it will physically work, or is it totally incompatible/unworkable. This will simplify things for me as I can buy 2x Maxtor PCIe dual head within 15 minutes.

    What else do I need To set up 4 monitors

    Apart from PCI slot uptake has anybody got any insights on any advantages or disadvantages of running a quad card such as G45X4QUAD-B vs 2 x dual head PCI or 1x Dual PCI and 1 X dual AGP. I am making this decision now. Maybe I can get the dual heads locally, but I have to wait 2 weeks for...

    What else do I need To set up 4 monitors

    Avoid Appian (now sold as Colorgraphic). Most PC manufacturers seem to use Matrox when installing for big banking clients so I would go with them, that is what I will be replacing my lasted less than 2 years Appian wiith. Yes it had a guarantee but they don't feel obligated to honour it.

    yahoo's quote service

    I am using standard Yahoo data via Hyperserver to feed into TS2K for my scanning my local market - not for time critical stuff like breakouts as it is a 15 min delay, but a great deal when you consider my alternatives that I can take a feed from are too expensive Bloomberg/Reuters ($ ouch!) or...

    FYI they used to be called Midas before they became a "bank". Seems nothing other than the name has changed.
