QP only covers US stocks, mutual funds, and 200+ indices and market
indicators; no BBs, futures, options. Yes, it does automatically convert to
MetaStock format. I download over 18,000 EOD data and using the virtual
MetaStock process, all are available to MSWIN, WOW, and GET within 3
minutes. Splits and corrections are automatic. And you can get it for less
than $22 a month.
There is special consideration for IRL, SIC and exchange groups. There is
funnymental data available from Market guide that is scanable. The features
just go on and on. It has a fair charting capability with major classic
indicators, but where it shines is in the scans.
