<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Does anybody know the Compuserve symbol for
E-Mini (S&P 500 mini contract). I reviewed the old Metastock list that
contains the MS symbols but I could not find the E-Mini symbol. Does anybody
know when the E-Mini started to be traded?. A third question is that I could use
the standard S&P500 quotes to backtest the E-Mini, or if it is better to use
the E-Mini historical data....</FONT></DIV>

qm>D< is not the problem, qm>H< is. Some historical data examples include
ALD on 9/16/97, CAT on 7/14/97. Also, the days of 8/29/97 and 12/24/97
were duplicated in their entirety. Also, several open prices were either
higher than the high or lower than the low.
I have cleaned up most of the errors but I need a web site that shows
historical splits. Michael Arnoldi (did I spell that right?) I think had a
link to a site that had them.
All these errors are easily caught with Equis's Downloader software which
isn't half bad. Even if you get it (free on their site) to just clean up
errors and export back to ASCII it might be worth it.
By the way, qm>D< is collecting the data ok but doesn't seem to be
finishing properly. Errors on lines 152-154. Anyone know why?

QMD pulls csv formatted data from Yahoo and processes that.
Could you send me a sample of the bad data and the ticker(s) which
generated it? A regular expression might be able to further filter the
data going to the final output file.
Cheers,
Jim
