Trading Reference Links

In order to convert data from Yahoo you will need
Metastock's Downloader and Microsoft's Excel.

In the Downloader read the files under "Convert"
so that you will understand the process.

>From Yahoo Finance download the data you want 
by downloading to a spreadsheeet. 
This will be saved as an excel csv file.
Open the excel file and drop the adjusted close or use it as your 
close if you want adjusted prices. 
Resave as a text and close excel.
Open the downloader and convert the file.



Here are a few sites that you may wish to visit.
