I would suggest using the free tool called &quot;MetaCareBase&quot;
(mcb)<br>
which you can find under
<a href="http://www.invest-tools.com /"; eudora="autourl">www.invest-tools.com
</a> Calling the<br>
tool with parameter /kd=21 will delete all securities<br>
which haven't been updated since 21 periods. You can also<br>
maintain a &quot;kill database&quot;, which contains a list of
securities<br>
to delete, and kill them all by applying switch /ka. And if<br>
you happen to want to archive these securities, i.e. move them<br>
away to an archive, in case you might want to use them again,<br>
you would use /ad=21 or /aa<br>
<br>
If you want to find out what else mcb can do for you, please<br>
feel free to download the manual from my web-site:<br>
www.agent-provocateur.de/mcbasedoc.zip
(107 KB) Btw: If you<br>
want to print the manual, beware that it's formatted to<br>
the German paper-size A4, which maybe differs from yours.<br>
<br>
In the manual, you'll notice some reference to a fundamental<br>
database which can be used for several useful operations.<br>
A sample is downloadable from www.agent-provocateur.de/mc_funda.db (2 KB)<br>
<br>
My whole mcb-directory can be downloaded from<br>
www.agent-provocateur.de/mcb15.zip (1852 KB)<br>
Unzipping this file to a place you want is all you need for<br>
a fully functional installation.<br>
<br>
<br>
If you have any questions, just e-mail me privately.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>

P.S. No flames please. This *has* been a Metastock-relevant question;<br>
it's no commercial, because the tool is free; and I don't have any<br>
relationship with its creators, other than I just use their tool.<br>

&gt; Betreff: Filtering out dead stocks<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Is there anyway of making a filter that tests to see that the most<br>
&gt; recent data is equal to today's trade date.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I keep getting stocks such as Hadco show up on my explorations even<br>
&gt; though the stock no longer exists. I am tired of manual using the<br>
&gt; Downloader to filter such stocks.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I simply want to filter out stocks whose last trade date is prior to<br>
&gt; today or I guess today - 1.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Thanks<br>
