I like your style. <g>
I have 10 directories.
Cont - Continuation charts
and Currency, Energies, Finance, Grains, Index, Meats, Metals, Softs, Soybeans
Not that I follow all of them [but just in case <g>] and some only have 2 or 3
contracts in them.
I am a newbie at MS and trading. Still trying to piece it all together, so I
keep lots of data. That way hopefully I can start to follow some of the
threads.
I'm using TBSP for data. Doesn't require the downloader. I forgot about the
downloader and was getting very confused about how to move/delete contracts
... I finally figured it out using TBSP's download/export software but I think
I could have used the MS Downloader to move/delete... [right?]
Do you use continuations charts or index charts at all? Who do you use for
data?
BTW Thanks for the response. I guess no one else had any ideas Oh well
