Al,
I use QP and I noticed, quite by accident, that 10 out of 73 mutual funds I
track had invalid data on Tuesday. On Wednesday it was 11 out of 73, almost
15%. The invalid data consisted of duplicated closing prices from the day
before, so it may have been missing data that QP plugged with the previous
day's data. I called QP tech support on Wednesday to report it, and the
lady in tech support didn't seem overly concerned about it. She told me
they sometimes get bad data which is corrected the next day, but didn't
acknowledge a systemic problem. Sure enough, the data was corrected the
next day. I downloaded the data at 9:00CT on Tuesday and 8:00 on Wednesday,
so I wasn't jumping the gun to get the data early. I get all MF EOD prices
by 5:00 through my realtime data provider, so I know the data is available.
Since I'm trading only MFs now, I haven't checked any stock data. However,
I'm starting to look around for other MF data providers. Worden is about to
come out with MF data for their TC2000 product, and they're sending me a
trial copy. I dropped their TC2000 stock data service several months ago in
favor of QP, but am seriously rethinking that decision.
Regards

| Lionel,

| Have you noticed any major descrepancies in closing prices from QP lately?
| I have uncovered several, I advise Tech Support and they change them on
the
| next download, but I am getting concerned as to the inaccuracies that I do
| not spot. The latest example would be the close for WMT on 3/1. QP shows
| a close of 50, but I was actively trading WMT on 3/1 and the close was 49
| 3/16 as per my real time and brokerage data.
|
| Has anyone else made these observations?
