Re: Max Shares

Hello Dennis and List

Thanks, I had tried this but for some reason it still fouled up. And would
only buy a max of 30000 shares (not 65000, or 65535). Maybe I was corrupting
something, as I'd coded to buy 1% of the required amount only where prices
had gone so low as to require more than 30000 shares ?

This was obviously going to mislead the performance results. So I should try
your code for across the board entries. Was getting tedious manually
entering 100's of  stocks with fileappend to tab the results.

Also my 3rd party data base means that for each stock I have to go into the
Universe and manually change the MinMove and Value ! Any Ideas to
shortcircuit this would be great.

Thanks again
Jon Macmichael
