I think what is easily overlooked, and hasn't been given much attention, is that SF loops through every single bar of every single stock in your watchlist, whereas TC only returns results for the current active bar.  Therefore, as I stated in my previous post, it is prudent you minimize the amount of bars to be calculated to a minimum, to give you the results you're looking for, and not any unnecessary results.
If you play with the "settings-data manager - number of bars" and "bars since true" settings of the watchlist sort condition, you'll see dramatic performance improvement.

I'm not sure what language Stockfinder is written in but I suspect it is .net which is known to be not only a memory hog but runs considerably slower than other languages such as C or C++. Compare that to TC2000 that uses the Worden servers to do the heavy lifting and it is no contest for speed and efficiency. Any old computer would have enough power to work under that condition.

I think that Worden is on to something by using their servers. The only draw back would be relying on a program to call home but they will figure this out. They have already said there will not be any more updates to SF and this is for a reason. If you like features in SF that are not in TC, then they have a crew with big ears just waiting for your suggestions. Pile on the features; it will not slow down your computer at all.

or he is still waiting for SF to finish his scan!!!!

 Here at ZOZ central we scan everything personally the index finger on the space bar.I don't know enough to know what I'm looking for till i see it.. I guess I'm looking for Bill O'Neil wonders . Amd many time they have no connection to Bill . That I'm aware of.  Presently I'm looking for stock That were like 19 dollars between April 27 and May 5th and are down to 12 to 14 dollars. Yea and I like the thirty dollar price range too.. Ones that were . trading around 37 dollars and are no trading around 32. BFI  or Republic Trash company looks good..  I avoid Drug and Drug  delivery companys like the plague... What about computer Gaming ?  Hummm thats a Bill O'Neil alright but . I'll look at them.  Water companys look good. .High tech stuff? .only if i can short them . Food processors resturants and packagers thats my cup of tea. Some coffee company has got my eye. CBOsomething. Financial? I got my eye on AFSI that was a Bill O'Neil wonder some years agol . I made good money off of that one 15 1o 17 dollars . Thats one that shot up as sooon as I bought it but I didn't follow Bill instructions. Yea bill says he's only going to give you 20%. Financials sound good. Insurance companys yea Purential looks good. Cheap. But not too Cheap What about the pennies? Yea like Ford and Bank of America. I keep an eye on them.

Message board investing . How do you scan for Yahoo Messageboard investing? Pump and Dump. How do you scan for Pump and Dump? Its no worst than Forex or emini trading. . I invested in one TRCR I bought it by reaching my hand in a basket and pulled out its number stuck it in a drawer and pulled it out 2 months later 10k dollars richer. Alot more money than I ever made overtrading.

What was that stock I loss my behind in back in 2007 it was a Bill O'Neil wonder  based in

Springfield Va. it did Gov. contract work building igloos  and running cable from one tent to the other. in twenty days it went from 4 dollars to to uhh like 15 dollars . That was a non Published Bill O'Neil wonder. . Then crashed on the excuse of  Sub Prime Mortage problems. I lost 15,000 dollars that week but i sure wish i could find another one of them.. You get greedy and i got Greedy and bill wil sock to you I didn't even know Bill then . I bought it from seeing the high gain numbers in the Washington Post...  That's an idea . get the high gainer penny stock out of any newspaper then short them. They are too cheap to short I suppose..

Now don't stick this in my Blog site just cut and paste it to the trash can  You all mess me up with to many of my own messages in one place... 

I 'm trading with a 350 dolllar laptop with a 15 in screen . It takes getting use to but it works great. just bought it. Not in the restroom of the Greyhound bus station . I bought it at Best Buy.

Funny thing about O'Neil and his top traders is that he/they don't personally use the famous canslim method.  Turns out the well known method  is a cookie cutter plan for the masses of retail traders, per two of his previous top associates who make zillions while working for him, Morales and Kacher.  Don't get me wrong, O'Neil's teachings overall are great, but most traders I think would be better off implementing certain aspects of canslim with modifications that will dovetail with the traders own style and personality.
