Yes, it would help, were it that i was talking about futures :-)

I did some masive backtesting on stocks and found the specified
errors in those prices. Ofcourse, there are also many stocks that
trade longer than regular trading hours so that's probably where
the problem comes from. It would just be nice if E-Signal would
use the real daily data if i would do a request for daily data instead
of "compressed" 24 hours data.

Anyway, personaly feel that it's best to get a specialised EOD
data provider if that's what you are trading.
