    INSTALLATION

    EYE IN THE SKY TRADE PLANNING SETUP

    The latest copy of the software can be downloaded from the following official Web Site:

    http://www.eyeintheskyscreener.com

    Double click on the Eye in the Sky Screener Setup.exe that you downloaded. Click the Allow option if Windows

    User Account Control displays a message.

    RUNNING EYE IN THE SKY TRADE PLANNING FOR THE FIRST TIME

    SOFTWARE UPDATES

    You may be notified that there is a software update available. If this message appears, click the Yes button and

    complete the setup for the new version of Eye in the Sky Trade Planning.

    MICROSOFT SQL SERVER DOWNLOAD & INSTALLATION

    If Microsoft SQL Server is not installed on your machine you will be prompted to download and install it. Once

    Microsoft SQL Server is installed the software will exit. Simply start Eye in the Sky Trade Planning again by using

    the icon you created on the desktop or quick launch bar, or by selecting it from the All Programs group of the Start

    Button.

    DATABASE CREATION

    The first time you run the software, it will create the database. This process may take up to a minute. Please do

    not close the program while this process is running. This process creates the SQL Server Database that stores all

    the data for the software. In addition, it loads some default data.

    DATA COLLECTION

    Eye in the Sky Trade Planning will begin to gather the stock information once you have closed the Help Video

    Notification screen. This process takes roughly 45 minutes the first time. Data includes 3 years of historical prices

    for each of the 6,700+ stocks. The data is incremental so it will update much quicker on the following days.

    THE MY RATING

    The My Rating field calculates the overall rating for each stock based on the number of PRO, WARNING and ERROR

    conditions that are met.

    The best possible rating is 10. The worst possible rating is 0.

    Each stock starts with a base rating of 5. The rating is then adjusted based on the following rules.

    Rule Type Rating Impact

    PRO The combined impact of all PRO rules is 5 positive points. Each PRO rule is

    weighted based on the total number of PRO rules.

    If all PRO rules conditions are met, then 5 will be added to the base rating.

    WARNING The combined impact of all WARNING rules is 1 negative point (20% of possible 5

    negative points).

    If all WARNING conditions are met, then 1 will be subtracted from the rating.

    ERROR The combined impact of all ERROR rules is negative 4 points (80% of possible 5

    negative points).

    If all ERROR conditions are met, then 4 will be subtracted from the rating.

    If you hover over the red exclamation point next to the My Rating field, you will see the number of each type of

    rule that is satisfied along with the total number of rules defined for that type of condition.
