... and a preliminary indication from our side ...
We have this huge database that we update from a variety
of sources, data coming in in the funniest formats sometimes.
But we have so many scripts to convert from this to that,
that I think Metastock would not be too much of a headache
to add. Keep in mind that FRED has good currency and yield
data on a daily basis as well. We update once a week and get
this data from somewhere else, but I've had a mind to switch
to FRED and update daily...
