thanks for the response, I am not sure about some of the utilities
mentioned, as I understand it metasotok keeps the securities names in an
index file, EMASTER (one per directory) the physical names are all the same
from folder to folder 1.dat, 1.dop, 2.dat, 2.dop etc
Another long standing wish is for a subdirectory master index that Metastock
would read & maintin - (so many programs metastock included refise to scan
subdirectories & a fix would be oh so very welcome! (EQUIS are you
listening??))
Thanks & Regards,
Mark

Subject: mass renaming data files
having changed data supplier I now have several thousand files that need
renaming & merging with the new suppliers format ie for hong kong the old
name format was 0001 0005 0012 etc whereas the new one is HK0001 HK0005
HK0012 etc & the new files contain less historical data s I need to merge
the old ones.
Qestion is;
does anyone know of an automatic means of doing these 2 tasks?
Thanks & Regards,
Mark Berger

Subject: Re: mass renaming data files
Mark:
A few questions:
Are the names 0001, 0002, 0003, etc. the names (or symbols) given to the
stocks, or the names of the folders that contain the stocks?
Do you want the new folders to contain the data from the old files (which
you said have more data), use the data from the new ones, or a combination
of both?
Is the volume quantity identical from each of the two suppliers (i.e., does
one divide the volume by 100, and the other one not)?
Do you want the new folders to contain up to 6000 stocks/folder (Metastock
8) or one of the older schemes (2000/folder or 255/folder)?

Subject: RE: Re: Centered Moving Average
It is true that Bill Williams uses moving averages displaced into the
future. However this should not be confused with using future data to
compute moving averages plotted on today's data (which can be done in MS
using the system tester but is not useful in actual trading for obvious
reasons).
For example, Bill Williams says that you should plot a 5 period moving
average, displaced by 3 periods. Within MS, it would look like this:
ref(mov(close,5,s),-3)
This plots the five period MA from 3 periods ago on the current bar.
If you use a "3" instead of a "-3", that changes the formula entirely and
attempts to use future data on the current bar.
Good Trading,
Joe J.

Bill williams' Alligator system used MA's displaced into future. I am
not able to recall what's the assumption to do so. I think is is not
simple displacement.
Does anyone remember or can fish out how it was done?

They called me and offered me the choice of getting quick with FEDEX and
paying or getting it in a week or so with US Mail for free. I chose the
snail mail, because I don't need it that soon. So apparently they are
offering a choice

Does anyone out there know why Equis is now charging to send CD
upgrades through "snail" mail? I haven't had to pay in the past for
these maintenance upgrades. Any comments?

Hello Mark,
If you are looking to rename Windows files en masse, take a look at PowerRen
the past and have found it to be incredibly useful for bulk file alteration
tasks. Amongst other things, it will allow you to easily prefix pre-existing
files with any character(s) you wish.
Don't know how much use this is to you!
Ash

1) T1 in daily after a flat Bollinger band during 15 periods.
2) Stochastic is not oversold if the market go down and is not overbought
when the market goes up.
End of translation.
So, what's the use of these conditions?

Hi,
Could someone help me with French language? to English, please.
1) T1 en Daily aprés une bollinger plate sur une quinzaine de
périodes.
2) Le stochastique n'est pas survendu si les cours baissent et
il n'pas suracheté lorsque les cours montent.
I tried to get help from Altavista and Google to translate but they
missed the meaning of some important words. The above matter concerns
bollinger band information available on www.
Thanks in advance,
vin
