I don't know about 6.52, but I found out too late that the p variable
doesn;t function in 7.01.<br>
<br>
Just one of the zillion bugs in 7.01 EOD.<br>

Does anyone know where 7.02 is? I was told it was about 2 weeks

<u>Advance-Decline Line </u><br>
</u>The advance decline line is simply a cumulative total of the number of advancing issues minus the number of declining issues.<br>
<u>Advance-Decline Line - Calculation method</u> <br>
First, a large number is chosen, e.g. 20,000. Each day thereafter, the difference between the number of advancing issues and<br>
declining issues is added or subtracted, eg each day's number of declining issues is subtracted from the number of advancing<br>
issues which results in the net difference. This net difference is then added to a running sum if the difference is positive or<br>
subtracted from the running sum if the difference is negative. Usually, New York Stock Exchange data is used for the calculation.<br>

What exactly do you mean by 'script'?
Here is a method detecting the path of The DownLoader using VBA. It should
work at least in Excel 97.
I hope there are no problems as I use the German version of Excel
(especially the different comma: US: ".", here: "," had to be addressed in
some extra lines of code).
I can't test this so use it with care.
Not only a trader should have regular backups anyway.
Beware:
Due to a bug in the MetaStock setup sometimes the Windows Registry entry
does not correspond with the version actually installed.
You may have MetaStock Version "6.52" with "6.51" being the (incorrect)
Windows Registry entry.
At least the MetaStock Version I owned had this bug.
I start at MetaStock version number 5.00 and loop (increment 0.01) through
all version numbers up to V. 9.0 [=Y3k? :-)]
