Bob,
<BR>it's the latest version of Quotes-Plus 2.&nbsp; If you want to use
the McClellan Oscillator, Summation, and Arms indicators,&nbsp; you should
use MetaStock Composites (if you want to use the Arms indicator, you MUST
use composites).&nbsp; These indicators are probably the most important
indicators you can use to gauge the overall market condition.&nbsp; I hope
this bug is fixed soon.&nbsp; I'm getting tired of recreating my composites.

<P>BTW, when I posted my last email about MetaStock composites and missing
dates, I never checked to see if DOUBLE composites with missing dates calculated
correctly.&nbsp; The Arms indicator uses a double composite.&nbsp; If you
use advance/decline data with missing dates, use a spreadsheet and verify
the calculations are made correctly.&nbsp; If I remember correctly, I think
this is why I came to the conclusion MetaStock didn't properly calculate
composites with missing data.&nbsp; I will have to verify this.

<BLOCKQUOTE cite type = cite>I sent this email to Quotes-Plus Tech Support.&nbsp;
It discusses a bug in the Quotes-Plus software.&nbsp; I thought the group
should be aware of it:

<P>Janene,
<BR>Thank you for your response.&nbsp; I have been using real MetaStock
files exported using the QP2 Output to MetaStock utility.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; At least,
not in my installation.&nbsp; When the advance and decline corrections
were sent out, they were not made on my MetaStock exported data.&nbsp;
I verified this using the QP Display Charts program.

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

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

<P>Thank you,
<BR>Daniel.

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