Al,

With Yahoo, you have 20 minutes delay so you can't use that for daytrading.
But yes, you can retrive data anytime when markets are open, with 20 minutes
delay.

I don't known for Forex.

Andrew, You can go to : http://www.personalstockmonitor.com/ You click on TRY IT FREE for 30 days. You download Personal Stock Monitor GOLD (not the standard edition). You install it. In OPTIONS - PREFERENCES : you choose YAHOO. You enter the ticker symbols you want (or import it in ASCII). And PSM retrieves the data on weekdays for each symbol. So after 4 : 30 PM (20 minutes delay), I start PSM Gold. 1 or 2 minutes later, all symbols are updated (I have about  800 symbols in 2 folders). I click on the first symbol of the folder and I SHIFT click on the last symbol of the folder to select all symbols. I go to FILE, EXPORT and I select MetaStock data TYPE and enter a filename to export the data. So you have a file ready to import in MS, in ASCII. After that, I open the DownLoader,  TOOLS, CONVERT, SOURCE :ASCII and DESTINATION FILE TYPE : MS. Pierre Tremblay Andrew S. Gibbons a écrit: Pierre, How do you do that?
