I GOT A QUESTION:  I'M A METASTOCK BEGINNER.  I'M
TRYING TO WORK THROUGH THE EXAMPLES IN "MASTERING
METASTOCK" (VER 3.0-I JUST GOT MS 9.)  I'M ON PAGE 14
OF THE BOOK, TRYING TO APPLY THE ENHANCED SYSTEM
TESTER TO THE NASDAQ 100.  I'M AT THE 'SELECT
SECURITIES' WINDOW, AND I SELECTED THE 'DATES' BOX 
TOWARD THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER OF THE BOX.  A WINDOW,
ENTITLED 'Simulation Dates,' IS ON MY SCREEN.  I
BULLETED 'USE PRICE DATA FROM 12/16/2003 TO
12/15/2004' AND HIT OK. BUT I GOT A WINDOW WITH THE
YELLOW TRIANGLE AND THE EXCLAMATION POINT SAYING "The
specified 'To' date falls outside the range of the
selected local data..'  I'M CONFUSED??
SO THEN I GO BACK AND SELECT 'LAST 250 DAYS' AND THE
PROGRAM LETS ME THROUGH AND I END UP AT THE 'SUMMARY'
WINDOW--NOW GET THIS, ALL THE BARS ARE GREEN, AND THE
SAME HEIGHT?? AND I HAVE , e.g,. 

ID  Security	                 Symbol	Periodicity	Date
Range	                                     Net Profit
% Gain	Trades	Trade Profit/Loss  Avg. Profit/Avg. Loss
Status

1   ATI Technologies Inc	ATYT	Daily	07/03/2003 -
06/30/2004	$1514.13	3.03 %	0	0/0	           N/A	      
                          Completed.


BUT I HAVE THE SAME #'S FOR EACH STOCK! ie NET PROFIT
$1514.13   %GAIN 3.03%
ANYBODY KNOW WHAT I AM DOING WRONG IN THESE 2 PLACES??
