Richard,
I use Parklane to download Metastock data. The service costs $15 per month and c
overs the whole Australian market including warrants but not options. It is
emailed after 12 midnight. The data is in a form that can be directly loaded
into Metastock.
By the way, do you or anyone else have advance-decline data for the major
indices ? I'm missing this.
Regards
Peter
