Good for you!  What is amazing to me is that there is such a high % of BAD 
data(intraday and EOD) that is sold that people trade with unknowingly.  It 
drives me nuts how they get away with this and how few people discover it.  
That is one reason systems don't work.  I think they realize that a very 
small % of people check it closely; therefore, they don't bother with error 
checking and cleaning bad data.  It is very easy to write code that would 
check this on the fly but they don't care unless someone brings it to the 
attention of a large group of their users.
