Re: Procedure for using a text file to create a list of stocks in a empty data directory

This is something that would help those of us that do futures. Besides
continuous data, I like to track individual contracts, which means that
every month I have to spend alot of time deleting the old and putting in the
new contracts. I've suggested to Equis that this would be a good feature to
add to the Downloader. In addition, it would be nice if DL would have a
switch which would move the expiring contract to an Archive folder on
expiration if you wanted to save it. I like to save "difficult" charts as
test plots for methods development.

that continue to be on the list and deleting those that are no longer in the
list and adding all the new ones? The new stocks of course will need a
complete historical download. But not the whole list.
