Dale,
I get your point. I trade options, but am using Metastock to do only
the stock analysis for the associated options. I will do the options
analysis in another software.

a "composite security" in the Downloader, and the Downloader won't
allow the "legs" of the composite to be in different folders. For
this reason, I create folders like "Grains" instead of "Wheat"
and "Corn" for instance, since the Wheat vs. Corn spread is an
important (and common) tradable. Likewise, I have folders
for "Energies", "Livestock", "Softs", "Currencies", "Metals". This
methodology keeps each of the folders "reasonably" sized.
