&gt; A while back someone posted the name of a program that <br>
&gt; extracts quotes from various internet sites and allows<br>
&gt; output to Metastock and other formats.<br>
&gt; Can someone post the name of that program.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Thanks<br>

Probably NETSTOCK.<br>
It's freeware, and you can get it here;
http://www.splitcycle.com/<br>
For some reason it does not output the OPEN price when using the
Metastock output option.<br>

Thanks for your emails.

H is not calculated as most indicators are so it's worth investigating. I
forgot to mention that Ruggiero's book has a couple of pages on H, starting
on page 169+. He covers some interesting areas including a shorten version
of the math, a moving version of H, and a raw version of H without lag. I
forget whether May talks about the math for the moving version on the
Bloomberg terminals.

Most of the H and other non-linear stuff comes to me in XL workbooks. If you
want to work on the math side, you can pick up a copy of the Matlab student
version for about $100, I believe that they have pretty easy XL links etc.
so that you can run your data in from Metastock. Log transformations of the
(times series) price data is a basic first step.

There are other non-linear indicators that traders are investigating, but
the math and the complexity can ramp-up quickly. Trailing edge technology
can be obtained with a little digging. Most of the "serious folk" package it
as a "diversion", but at least it gets your foot in the door and access to
programming ideas from the journals.
