AMI uses so called WL bits for each ticker. TC2000 just uses a list for each WL. AMI way is much faster to determine if a ticker belongs to a WL, but uses more space since each WL will cost one bit for EVERY ticker. I think the realistic number would be 256, which would use 32 bytes per ticker. If you have 10000 tickers, the extra space would be 320000 bytes (320KB). Consider the memory of newer computer being 1-2GB, that's not much.   I agree that 64 may not be enough for some people, but remember AMI had only 32 WL at the beginning. I personally think 64 is good enough for my own usage since I can always recycle some of them. But I totally agree with Ken's arguments: if you want to use WLs to track ETFs, you need more than 64.   __._,_.___ Please note that this group is for discussion between users only.
