["IVA GmbH" <funnybiz@xxxx>]

Tomasz,
 
my data for tzhe S&P´s starts in January 1950, 
so your answer my solve the problem.
 
Please let me know when there´s a new importer 
available since I like to study price as much back as possible to get a feeling 
for a market in terms of long-term support/resistance, all-time highs/low 
etc.
 
Thanks a lot 
 
Markus

Hello,
 
You probably imported the data earlier than 1950 
using Metastock importer.
As original Metastock 
format data used 2 digits for encoding year, the 
importer
uses a window technique which treats all 
dates yy<=50 as 20yy and all dates
with <FONT 
face=Tahoma>yy>50 as 19yy. 
As with Metastock 7 (and Y2K patch to 6.5) 
Equis started to encode dates >2000
differently. <FONT face=Tahoma 
size=2>I guess that I need to tweak the importer again.

Dear fellow users,
 
I´ve noticed that my S&P chart looks 
totally screwed up:
 
It shows data even for the year of 2050 which 
messes up my moving averages as well (open, high, low and close are allthe 
same).
 
The data up to the last day of update looks 
fine though - where does AB get this weird data from?
 
Other charts seem to look fine...
 
Besides: is there any way of exportinga chart 
so as to be able to attach it as a gif file or bmp to an email(then I could 
attach it to this message for clarification)???
 
Thanks a lot
