MetaStock stores theoretically up to 2000 tickers in directory. I

I collect data in csv format from quote.yahoo.com and convert data in a
text<br>
format, which the Downloader can convert to MetaStock format.<br>
I am going to have more than 2000 tickers to deal with and looking for a
way<br>
to organize data in several MetaStock directory.<br>
I have 2 questions :<br>
1)How do you organize/split your data in MetaStock directory
(alphabetical<br>
order or group according industry membership) ? Pros and Cons of 
you<br>
approach ?<br>
2)How can I automate the Downloader task of conversion from ASCII 
to<br>
MetaStock format ?<br>

&gt; If you plot an ordinary (20) daily Bollinger Band on the VIX (see
attached<br>
&gt; chart),<br>
&gt; i.e. the OEX tend to bottom out short term<br>
&gt; when the upper Bollinger Band is reached by the VIX,<br>
&gt; as lower volatility (fear) is usually good for stocks.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; The OEX tend to form short term tops when the lower Bollinger
Band<br>
&gt; is reached by the VIX.<br>

&gt; &gt;Dave,<br>
&gt; &gt;I looked at ^VIX some time ago. I know it covers &quot;market
volatility&quot;<br>
&gt; but I never<br>
&gt; &gt;knew quite how to use it. There's a news link at Yahoo:<br>
&gt;
&gt;http://biz.yahoo.com/rf/000317/1p.html<br>
&gt; &gt;The part which refers to ^VIX is here:<br>
&gt; &gt;&quot;The Market Volatility Index (^VIX - news), the options
market's<br>
&gt; gauge of<br>
&gt; &gt;investor fear, was up 0.99 to 24.19 at 11:56 a.m. CST (1756
GMT).<br>
&gt; &gt;The VIX measures implied volatility of several OEX strikes
and<br>
&gt; typically moves<br>
&gt; &gt;opposite stocks.&quot;<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt;The VIX for yesterday was 27.55. The Put/Call ratio (or
Call/Put<br>
&gt; ratio) is<br>
&gt; &gt;supposed to be around .400 (or 2.1). How do I use the 
^VIX?<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt;Thanks,<br>
&gt; &gt;Daniel.<br>

&gt; &gt;&gt; Yahoo! finance (finance.yahoo.com) will give you graphs
and<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; historical downloadable data for the VIX. Use ^VIX,
select<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; chart, then at the bottom of the chart select
Table|Daily<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; for the data. At the bottom of the page, you'll see a

India. Although we have not yet started using it extensively, as until now
we were busy with some urgent engagements. However as per our knowledge You
can certainly do what you want with MDK and a lot more, but you must be a
very good programmer in one of the required programming language.

, the differerance in capabilities are related to price data, not the output
of your formulas. You can certainly direct the output of your formulas,
system tests, explorations etc. to any file while testing with Metastock and
again call that back into MEtastock formulas etc. with read only version
also, however if you want to write price data files, then you must have
READ/WRITE version.

programming in such a way that the required inputs are calculated at the
same time when they are needed and it can go on internally in the program
and you do not see any extra files.
