Chris:
I keep a few continuous charts in my FUTURES directory. This is the list
I flip through daily.
I currently use Dial Data, but considering a switch. For contracts with
evening sessions, Dial Data lumps all together, so you can't do gap analysis
on 4pm EST close to next morning's open. Daily gaps are really
end of evening session to next morning's open.
Considering a switch to Prophet, but there have been some concerns
about accuracy. I recently joined this list, so if anyone has
comments on Prophet, I'd like to hear them.
I also use some data from Tick Data for S&P futures. They let you specify
whether to include night sessions when converting their data to
MetaStock format.
You didn't ask about stocks, but here's how I handle it. I keep several
hundred stocks on my hard drive. Nasdaq stocks are stored in 6 directories:
N_AD - stock names beginning with letters A thru D
N_EH
N_IL
N_MP
N_QT
N_UZ
You might figure out a better distribution for you needs, maybe just
2 or directories would work for you.
I have NYSE stocks arranged similarly:
Y_AD
Y_EH, etc.
I use the downloader for creating stocks, moving things around, etc.
I a utility for creating a years worth of contracts, so near year end
I kick off a batch file, and all contract for next year are created as
empty data files.
..Mark
