RE: Pinnacle Data and CSI Unfair Advantage - opinions?

Let me know what you discover.  I looked at both of those products and had a
problem understanding them.  For someone like me who just wants a 'plain
vanilla' EOD download for 25 commodities that interfaces with Downloader (or
MetaStock compatible data).

Do either of them offer a simple, daily, EOD, futures download?  I basically
follow about 25 futures and 3 to 5 stocks, and have no desire to buy or
maintain their historical databases (we have our own).

I currently use CompuServe (which I've used for years) and pay about $22 a
month, which includes the CompuServe monthly fee.  I would love to buy a
similar service so that I could get rid of CompuServe's monthly fee and
access this data via my ISP.

I haven't found anything that works or that I am able to understand. :)  I
tried Prophet twice and liked their approach, but it didn't work (at least
for me).  It would work one day and then fail the next.  The third day, it
would work again.  I have no idea why they were having that problem.  In
addition, they had a bunch of bad data that I discovered during my parallel
run.

Thanks,

Guy

Hi Glen,

I use CSI's Unfair Advantage for futures data.  I have no complaints about
the product or their service.  If you want to test your indicators on a lot
of historical data, they provide a large amount of history on their CD.
