Ken,
I have an outstanding problem report submitted to Equis support with the AIQ
conversion
that was sent in months ago. This is what prompted me to test the AIQ
conversion with
the 7.02 release. I had received a note from Equis support that this
problem was to be
fixed in the 7.01 release. I waited for the 7.02 upgrade before upgrading to
the latest
EOD version. I did NOT send a "new" report since it is readily apparent
that it is still
not working. I presumed the program bug fixes were not applied in the 7.01
and 7.02 versions
because it took one execution of the conversion to see such a blatant error.
We as "end customers" do not know what has been fixed and what is still in
the queue.
It would be helpful to know what is still being addressed for 7.03 upgrade
and what is being left out or scheduled
to be fixed in Metastock 7.5. I plan on doing further testing of 7.02 as I
do not want
to base any trading decisions on the software until I can verify the formula
calculations
are correct, experts are working correctly, ..., etc. I have noticed other
anomalies that
need to be checked out before declaring a bug exists or if it is my own
mistake.
I fully realize that Equis does not want this Metastock list to become a
laundry list of problems
in the latest version of the upgrade. My intent was to keep other customers
informed of any issues I have
found in the software and the obvious financial impact this can have on the
customers' trading.
Hopefully, other customers will reciprocate and share problems they have
found as well. Publishing
a bug fix schedule on your website would help us, the customers, better
understand what is being delivered
in the QA upgrades and what has NOT been fixed. With software as
complicated as Metastock, bugs are
inevitable.
Equis has NOT been communicating very well with the customer base; your
recent contributions
have been a refreshing change of direction. Thanks, for getting involved.
The AIQ data that I converted is up-to-date (7/31/2000). I have also sent
Lynn (Equis support) some
sample AIQ data files (stocks and funds) , AIQ market data, and the AIQ SDK
kit to
verify whether or not your conversion routine uses the upgraded kit and to
confirm my execution
results.
Thanks,
Ron Stockstill

Ken,
The downloader conversion of AIQ data is still broken. I was told
by Equis support this would be fixed with 7.01. It may have been,
but it is not even close in 7.02.
Attached is an example of data created into a new Metastock
folder (created by the 7.02 downloader afresh). The conversion
of stock data is not even close to being correct and I did not bother to
test the mutual fund data which gave me 10 quotes on 10 years
of history (which I reported months ago).
Needless to say, the AIQ source data is current to 7/31/00.
Thanks,
Ron Stockstill
