Can't imagine why someone who has done this would not share it, so let's just
keep our eyes open. My exploration scans are based on formula's that I've been
able to acquire in metastock language, so all I'm really looking for is the
quickest way to get ascii eod updates down from one of these generous internet
sites (stockhistory.com) and into my Metastock with the fewest keystokes
possible.
Know any free internet sources for eod futures prices besides Bohls?
