Hello,
MetaStock stores theoretically up to 2000 tickers in directory. I read
somewhere that one should save maximum 1000 tickers in a directory for the
sake of performance.
I collect data in csv format from quote.yahoo.com and convert data in a text
format, which the Downloader can convert to MetaStock format.
I am going to have more than 2000 tickers to deal with and looking for a way
to organize data in several MetaStock directory.
I have 2 questions :
1)How do you organize/split your data in MetaStock directory (alphabetical
order or group according industry membership) ? Pros and Cons of you
approach ?
2)How can I automate the Downloader task of conversion from ASCII to
MetaStock format ?

Rgds,

Vu~
