Tom,

 

Here’s the website link: http://www.stockconsultant.com/consultnow/basicplus.cgi?ID=sample&symbol=MEE&62695#ttop.  MEE is the symbol.  From Excel both Tony and I got an error trying Webquery.  Webquery worked fine when I tried it against IBD.

 

My Internet Macros macro worked fine, but it’s expensive and may be more than Tony wants to spend.

 

My future plans include implementing something like you suggest, but I planned to use Internet Macros.  I’d be to work with you on the project if only to see how to create a better, cheaper tool. 

 

Also, I have built a prototype personal web page that runs in my workstation IIS web server (Win XP Pro).   The idea is that you can use AB’s Profile functionality and call a personal webpage rather than a external web page.  The personal web page has multiple, dynamic links with the currently selected symbol imbedded.  Each link would be for a different web source of data – IBD, MarketWatch, StockConsultant, etc.  Not useful for scans, but very useful speeding up final analysis of stocks.

 

Regards,

 

Dan.

Hi Dan and Tony,

     I though I responded to your previous email but I am sorry but I did not see it in the thread.  If you would allow me to have the email address of the site you are downloading from maybe I could help with the download and conversion in excel and building a csv file.  

     I have been working with excel for years and automate most of my functions using VBA through the macro builder.  I also have the ability to help build data files automatically.  I would be happy to combine/share these talents with anyone who would assist in a team effort in build some AFL files that would forcast the movement of stock prices and options.
