Everytime I download daily data for METASTOCK, I get at the end a
message with a lot of outdated secutities and change of symbols. so I
asked the technical people at EQUIS an they sent me this and I want
to share it.
I included the name of the person contacted at the end of the message.
SECURITIES NO LONGER TRADED
EXPLORATION
How can I find the local securities which are no longer trading?
You can do this in order to know which securities can be removed from
your lists. It identifies
which securities have not traded in the amount of time you specify,
and lists them so you can remove
the ones you no longer follow.
1.Create a new exploration with the following formula:
Col A: month Month()
Col B: day DayOfMonth()
Col C: year Year()
Filter ( (Year() < 2000) OR (Month() < 10) )

read Year() < 2002 and change the month to read Month()<5 ):
( (Year() < 2000) OR (Month() < 10) )
