These are real-time paper trades (everything is there except the risk / reward part and the stress):

Buy GIGM 8.11 - 12:20 11 July
Buy IVAC 23.98 - 12:35 11 July
Buy PRFT 13.10 - 12:30 11 July

PRFT and IVAC are gap-ups on positive announcements - what do we think about these?
If anyone is interested in my decision process I'm happy to explain further, it will help me learn.

For tomorrow's open I like:
FTEK
IIG
LMIA
RACK
NTRI
Subject to all the usual conditions.
Also REDF, but not sure about the float size.

I, for one, would absolutely love to have an application that quickly and easily allowed me to check earnings dates for the entire Final Universe with a simple mouse click. You have anything like that laying around the house? :D

I've been a quiet follower for quite awhile and thank everyone for what I've learned from the two threads. I'd be happy to code an an easy to use earnings calendar lookup utility available over the Internet that you could simple plug the FU into and have it spit out the dates for all symbols if you guys tell me which website you'd like to "rely" on. Or I could code multiple sources into a dropdown that the user could choose from. Wouldn't take longer than an hour or two. Let me know if you're interested and what website(s) you'd like scraped.

I have something working already that suits my command-line nature, but I'm sure it'll give other people grief. If you have the time and skills to code something up, then I'm sure it'll be appreciated.

To get the earnings date from zacks.com, I'm using:

http://www.zacks.com/research/report.php?type=report&t=YHOO

(but replace YHOO with whatever you like)

Good luck.

Hi All, i'm new to this forum and a first time poster. I have followed this journal and the previous journal and the links provided and i'm slowly learning the ropes.

I have a question that might have been answered somewhere in this vast journal resource, so please can anyone help me find out how do i create a "Universe" of stocks? I mean i have access to "Fidelity" research and "Wealth-Lab Pro" and can acess "MSN" and "Yahoo" screeners.

Fidelity or MSN or Yahoo does not seem to provide fields for "EPS" rank in their screener tools.

Can anyone please let me know what screen i need to use to get the "Universe" of stocks if i'm using the above tools.

I know that stocktables.com does provide those fields, but at this time i'm not committed to pay for the service.

Any help appreciated.

Hi Ready,

I use the MSN deluxe screener exclusively now, with the criteria file attached that was coded by a kind individual earlier in one of the journals... can't remember who or where, but here it is...

It approximates the criteria set out for use with the Stocktables website screener.

cheers.

Thanks gpzany. Can you let me know how do i open .iff files. I google the web, but was unable to get any clear answer. I'm using windows XP.

You open them through the actual deluxe screener control.

Nice job on the trades. I recommend keeping a log of gap open trades you take. Include the gap size (percent) and the trade result. You may find a correlation which advises you to take or avoid certain gap trades.
