A word of caution on using data from HQuotePro.. take a look at 
prices on any stocks a year or two back vs a real data source (like 
Reuters, TC, Dale's data source.}. Try the DJ30 stocks. You will 
find it is incorrect to the tune of 2-6%  from memory.  I had 
written into this forum regarding that before. You get what you pay 
for. On the other hand if you have learned to make money based on 
bad data, don't change.
