Theo, BTW: Data on MS's CD is upto 2K securitites per directory. QP and anyone else can't handle more than 255.... Long history here... Directories with that # of securitites in it are very slow. Metastock data format is very poor IMO. 1. Using the Equis Data CD with QP is futile. You can merge the data together but you have to do so one stock at a time and deal with symbol name translation. Its not worth the effort. QP2 will be out soon with 6 years of history built in. 2. On missing days you should ask the QP people directly. I have no problem getting all data except for market holidays. QP tech support should be able to help you solve this problem. 3. To export data from QP you use the metastock export utility. You feed it lists of securities that you generate via text editor or via QP scans and then can export that data into MS format. There is tons of information on this thread about all these subjects. Start reading this thread from the beginning and you will happen upon lots of tidbits. Highly recommend also reading TA - beginners in its long and glorious entirety. hope this helps. Write back... Sean
