Re: Quotes-Plus 2.0, MetaStock data, and Composites

[Daniel Martinez <DanM@xxxxxxxx>]

I sent this email to Quotes-Plus Tech Support.  It discusses a bug
in the Quotes-Plus software.  I thought the group should be aware
of it:

Janene,
Thank you for your response.  I have been using real MetaStock
files exported using the QP2 Output to MetaStock utility.  If there
are any corrections sent out by QP to correct errors in the data, these
corrections do not show up in the MetaStock exported data.  At least,
not in my installation.  When the advance and decline corrections
were sent out, they were not made on my MetaStock exported data. 
I verified this using the QP Display Charts program.

The only way I can update the exported MetaStock data with the corrections
is to delete all the MetaStock files and re-export.  Unfortunately,
I also must recreate my composites.  I found there is nothing I can
do to preserve my composites.  I must recreate them and I have done
this now 3 times.

I was told by another QP2 user on my MetaStock ListServ that a patch
will be created to fix this problem.  Are you saying this in not correct?

Thank you,
Daniel.

  Dan,
  You can create composites with the real Metstock files. 
You cannot create
  composites with the Virtual Profiler.  There will not be
a patch as far as I
  know.  The folders with the virtual files need to have
just virtual files,
  nothing else.  When you create other files and leave them
there it creates
  problems with the virtual files.  Use the output to Metastock
program for
  the stocks you want to create composites for.
