Yuki,
With regard to the Metastock data, I already have back to around
1998 on my hard drive. With this data, do I simply need to use the
File/Import Metastock Data command? If so, to what folder is it
imported? Is a new AB folder? Was your reference to Metastock data
plugin assuming I would be accessing the data from Metastock/Reuters?
Thanks also for the information on culling down the larger database
to one meeting my criteria regarding price and volume. That sounds
like a perfect solution. I didn't want to download 7200+ everyday
when I was only interested in a much smaller subgroup. Thanks again
for the help.
