If you know how to get eSignal's tick data into Metastock's Downloader
please share.&nbsp; I didn't think it could be done.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>p.s. the statement I intended was, "I am using 
eSignal and the most I can get via eSignal 5.0 would be 3 days of tick data." 
However, since eSignal gives up to 5 days'&nbsp;time &amp; sales data (tick by 
tick), there should be a dde command to call up all these data and convert into 
ASCII. I will be asking DBC techsupp and will report the findings 
here.</FONT></DIV>

Hi Glen

I respect Rick's opinion's ... but you might want to check out what William
Gallacher has to say about Optimal f in "Winner Take All" to see what a
non-enthusiast is saying.

Page 194:

"... While I do not question Vince's mathematical integrity, I seriously
question whether anything he proposes is remotely applicable in the real
world. ..."

after 5 pages of additional analysis he sums up with:

"... Conclusion: Optimal f = phoney optimization."

Personally, I don't know what to think. I sounds good on paper but I don't
know how to make it work with actual data. Maybe you could help me out.

Best regards

Walter
