Thank you Gordon. DTlink works, but
it did take me
alot of frustration to finally overcome. I
quite it 2 or 3
times. But, when I learn how it
worked, it really was
simple. Moral is , don;t give
up....
I have no savy in the market. If I was
right, I wouldn't be
here. I'd be in a multi million dollar
house along the beach
just North of Diamond Head, HI.
Thanks anyway.
Bud

Downloading from Yahoo<FONT
face=Arial,Helvetica>Hi. Ref. using Dtlink to export Yahoo
Historical and daily data.
[1] In PSM ( for DTLink) set up a
portfolio you want, make sure the porfolio is highlighted at the
bottom. [2] Click on Portfolio,
then scroll down to "new portfolio" <FONT
face=Arial,Helvetica>[3] Next, you want to "add" a stock/index, or
fund that Yahoo has in it's file. <FONT
face=Arial,Helvetica> So you go to "new"
under the same cat. [4] Once you
have listed the items you want for download, You'll need "history.
[5] Under Portfolio, click
graphs, then click history. Engage the dowload. <FONT
face=Arial,Helvetica>[6] Once you have done that, and it will be
noted at the bottom left corner. <FONT
face=Arial,Helvetica>[7] Next, go to "file, click save as.
her you'll usually use the portfolio name you have given it.
Make
sure you have it saved as "Stk files" on the 2nd line below your title
of the portfolio. [8] Next
'you want to export that file to DL (downloader) <FONT
face=Arial,Helvetica>[9] Next under file name, save as "
MS Hostorical ( ascii vol 100's) [10]
do not turn off the PSM, now go to DL and then <FONT
face=Arial,Helvetica>[11] click on "tool' then 'convert' <FONT
face=Arial,Helvetica>and that is pretty much it.<FONT
face=Arial,Helvetica>
You have now converted Yahoo to MS using the
PSM to MS Downloader.
Now do the same procedure for daily, except
when you convert change the label marker history' <FONT
face=Arial,Helvetica>to daily, a couple of line above the history
location.

Most program's allow to export in some kind of
ASCII format. These files you then have exported can again be imported
using the downloader. That means you will have to do 3 steps to
get data into MS. Startup DTLINK and download from wherever you
want. Export into ASCIII (or some other compatible format) using
DTLINK. Startup the downloader and import the files you just exported.
Then you can use the files you have updated or created.
That is the nice feature of that program called download center
(dCenter) It works toghether with The Downloader so all you have
to do is start up the downloader, click on download prices and the
downloader will do the rest (through dCenter)
It might not be the cheapest option ($54) but it sure is the
easiest way i can think of :-))
Greetings

software allow setting up a list of securities to update and to
automatically export it into Metastock data files, or is it necessary
to export the data for one security at a time and then import it into
Metastock?Lionel Issen

Hi.
I have never tested the maximum size. I get maybe about 20
items.
It takes seconds, and extremely easy once you get the hang of it.
Software is dtlink.com 30 days free. I like it, again it took me a
while to understand downloading history, and daily update were 2
different
displays, but once you know how, the rest is easy.
