<DIV><FONT color=#000000>Has anyone come across formula code which could be used
to flag unfilled Gaps in a displayed chart? The MetaStock language has the
"Gap Down" and "Gap Up" built-in formulas which could be
used to identify all gaps, but I would like to look back in time from the right
edge of the chart and flag only the <FONT
color=#0000ff><STRONG>unfilled</STRONG></FONT> gaps. I could visualize adding
the code to any custom Expert Advisor to display a symbol only for the unfilled
gaps for however many records are loaded in the chart.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000>Thinking a bit further, I could see such a formula
being used with the "Gap Down" and "Gap Up" built-in
formulas to calculate the percentage of gaps which end up getting filled for a
particular security. Of course, at least several years of data should be used in
generating the latter statistic.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=3>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000><FONT size=3>I'm hoping that someone has some direct
experience with this service specifically for classes of securities that might
go through a sequence of symbol changes, e.g. from the original symbol to
a new symbol, then eventually back to that same original symbol. This is not as
far-fetched as it initially sounds. One example <FONT color=#000000>is when the
SEC appends a "D" for 30 days after a stock split for Bulletin Board
stocks.</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000><FONT size=3></FONT></FONT><FONT
size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000><STRONG>BACKGROUND: </STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000>I have a question on how The DownLoader (I am using
v6.52) works with Reuters DataLink when securities have a symbol change. I will
pose a hypothetical Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (OTC BB) stock with symbol
"ABCD" but the question applies to other classes of securities as
well. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000>The SEC is currently going through a process of
requiring OTC BB companies to file financial information. During one stage of
that process if the filed forms are not completely acceptable to the SEC an
"E" is appended to the company's stock symbol and the company has a
certain period of time to supply amended information. If the SEC approves the
amended filings the "E" is removed and the company then is considered
a "reporting" company. Companies that do not pass this process or
which do not file any information are delisted to the Pink Sheets.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000>A user determines that a symbol has changed by
inspecting the Reuters DataLink Collection Report/Additional Information/Details
to list the Security Report. DataLink does not automatically change the
symbols, so the user must change them manually in order to continue getting data
for that security. The problem with the OTC BB stocks is that, if one is
attempting to follow a large number of them, too much time is required to
manually keep adding and deleting E's. In the following hypothetical example it
is assumed that the user <FONT color=#0000ff><STRONG>DOES NOT MAKE
</STRONG></FONT>the manually required symbol changes to his data
files.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000>Hypothetical Example:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT
color=#000000><STRONG>DATE</STRONG>
<STRONG>STOCK SYMBOL DATALINK
RESULT</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000>Prior<BR>to
11/01/99
ABCD
DataLink recognizes ABCD and supplies EOD
<BR>
data for it</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000>11/01/99
through
ABCD<FONT
color=#ff0000><STRONG>E</STRONG></FONT>
DataLink gives error message that ABCD has
<BR>11/28/99
changed to ABCDE and no data are
downloaded
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000></FONT> </DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000><STRONG>QUESTION: </STRONG>If I do not make the
manual changes to symbols of my OTC BB data files but continue to attempt to
collect daily EOD data for <STRONG>all</STRONG> the stocks in my OTC BB
directory/folder (some with E's, most without), will DataLink
<STRONG>eventually</STRONG> fill in all the missing data for the periods where
stocks had the "E" appended, once the "E" is dropped?
