Am new to blocks. want to set up screens and backtest over 20 years. would appreciate advise on the the three following screens from aaii.
Tiny Titans:
- Companies not based in the United States are excluded
- Companies that trade on the over-the-counter market are excluded
- Market capitalization for the latest fiscal quarter (Q1) is greater than or equal to $25 million and is less than or equal to $250 million
- The price-to-sales ratio is less than one
- The final results are the 25 companies with the highest relative price strength over the last 52 weeks
Small Cap Growth and Value:
- Companies not based in the United States are excluded
- Companies that trade on the over-the-counter market are excluded
- Market capitalization for the latest fiscal quarter (Q1) is greater than or equal to $200 million and less than or equal to $2 billion
- 2006 is the base year; for each year thereafter, adjust for inflation by increasing the lower and upper range by 3%
- The price-to-sales ratio is less than 1.5
- Earnings per share growth for the last 12 months (12m) is positive
- Relative price strength over the last 13- and 26-week periods is greater than the database average for both periods
- The final results are the 25 companies with the highest relative price strength over the last 52 weeks

I do not know of way to include the following conditions:
Companies not based in the United States are excluded
Market capitalization for the latest fiscal quarter (Q1) is greater than or equal to $200 million and less than or equal to $2 billion
- 2006 is the base year; for each year thereafter, adjust for inflation by increasing the lower and upper range by 3%
(I do not know of a method to adjust the Capitalization from year to year.)
The final results are the 25 companies with the highest relative price strength over the last 52 weeks
(While it is possible find the Raw Rank of a Condition vs a Watchlist, I do not know of a method for doing so versus a filtered list with different symbol from day to day.)
Same-quarter growth in sales between the last fiscal quarter (Q1) and the same quarter one year prior (Q5) is positive
Same-quarter growth in sales between the last fiscal quarter (Q1) and the same quarter one year prior (Q5) is greater than the same-quarter growth in sales between the fiscal quarter one quarter ago (Q2) and the same quarter one year prior (Q6)
Those companies that are American Depository Receipts (ADRs) are excluded
Please download the attached .scond files to:
\My Documents\Blocks Files\Tool Parts\Strategy Conditions
Once downloaded, you should be able to select Add Condition | My Computer when adding a Strategy Condition to access them.
Please save the following .SGCol files in:
\My Documents\Blocks Files\Tool Parts\Columns
Once there, you can add a column by right-clicking the tab header of the WatchList, choosing load column then My Computer.
You can use QuickEdit to adjust the settings or view the Block Diagrams.
Note: The Pointer x-Wk PPC Column will only produce values when the Date Pointer is at the end of a Calendar Week.
I will continue to attach additional files as they are written.Attachments:
