[EquisMetaStock Group] Re: HQuotePro data accuracy on XOM

I get my Equity data from HQuotePro and don't have any problems with 
them till I tried looking back at data on XOM for 6/16/00 and another 
random date 7/27/00. The numbers were quite different than TC2000 data 
on XOM for the same period and are incorrect. I deleted my XOM file and 
reloaded it with HQuotePro, thinking that maybe I had manually adjusted 
a split and made a mistake somewhere. But I got the same erroneous 
results.. here is what I see..

XOM HQuotePro 6/16/00   Price at close: $36.89 (Incorrect)
XOM TC2000    6/16/00   Price at close: $42.19 (Correct)

XOM HQuotePro 7/26/00   Price at close: $33.31 (Incorrect)
XOM TC2000    7/26/00   Price at close: $38.10 (Correct)

XOM HQuotePro 3/24/05   Price at close: $59.00 (Correct)
XOM TC2000    3/24/05   Price at close: $59.00 (Correct)

The correct price is shown by TC2000 all times. This has certainly got 
me quite worried because now I am questioning all the old data that I 
have from the free HQuotePro service..  Till now, I have been a fan of 
HQuotePro. Jose and Super's comments come to mind about accuracy of 
past data. Hope thats not it and something else.  Can someone take a 
look and comment? Pretty scary thought that my backtesting in Metastock 
is based on XOM garbage data. In fact, I now feel like the proverbial 
monkey throwing darts at the newspaper and who made more money than 
professional traders...

A while back, I ran Forex EOD on my MS Pro/8.01 version with Qcharts. 
The data came from Norgate - Richard Dale. Everything was seamless. No 
problems at all. I have not tried Intraday..
By the way, this is not meant as a pump for Norgate Date services, as I 
don't use them. If I were trading Forex EOD, I certainly would be.
Richard - if you are reading this, any comments? Also is there any 
discount package for equity/mutual fund data from Norgate combined with 
Forex EOD?

Thanks,
