RE: [EquisMetaStock Group] Securities data in one or several folders?

["Richard Dale" <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The primary advantage is you don't have to navigate up and down each folder.

 

The disadvantage is it goes a little bit slower, since Windows doesn't perform very well with that many files in one folder.

 

Best regards,

I just bought Metastock 9.0, so it should support 8000 securities 
per 
folder. However, what is the advantage to having all securities in 
one folder?

Thanks.
