Does the MS Downloader work with Quotes Plus or do they have another program
to feed the data to MS? Can you download all common stocks at once? Is the
download a high speed connection?

What other features does Quotes Plus offer?

What is the URL?

Thanks

I agree with Al. I am happy with the accurate data and the QP scanning
program, and more than that, the constructive and helpful attitude of the
support staff. Not that I'd have required support to any great extent, but
when I needed them, they were there for me.

There is a mailing list just like the Metastock one where users can
communicate and also receive immediate replies from tech support. The few
problems that arise are as a rule experienced by users who stick with an old
version of the program, now obsolete. Others now and then will have issues
with volume data on some very illiquid stocks. And of course, the huge
amount of data provided will make for an occasional error to creep in once
in a while, but these are usually straightened out with the next download.

QP's data format, though proprietary, has an open interface that is easily
accessible through Excel or VB. This QP format is so much more compact than
the Metastock format that one would wish for the whole industry to adopt, or
at least support it. Many do - from AdvancedGet to Tarnsoft and others.

They have a scanning language that comes close to a real programming
language, much superior in power of expression to, say, Worden's TC2000. And
then there are fundamentals, and commodities, and charting...

All this at a price of about a dollar a day, give or take a little,
depending on your subscription.

I feel fortunate to do business with this company, and hope for them to
thrive and prosper for years to come.

Kind regards from Germany,

I use QP2 without any options, and I have had it for almost a year.  The
service was recommended to me from several on this list.  The QP2 people
are very customer and service oriented.  If there is ever a problem, there
is a girl named Janene that is a great problem solver.  They answer their
phones and respond to e-mails FAST.  The data is extremely accurate, and
when an error is observed and reported, they will reseach and automatically
correct when needed.  Best $18.95 data bargain I have enjoyed.

Just got a trial version and I'm thinking of signing up to Quotes Plus.
Does anyone use? There seems to be a lot of 'options'....
IRL, Investigator, etc. I would like to use Quotes Plus as a stand-alone
module. Is that possible or do I need these other options to make it a good
tool?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Gene
