I am reading back and responding to your Nov 17 post about the quote.com site. I have done a lot of searching, following up suggestions from people and articles...but stop I don't want to plug this site. It is the best, but it gets slow, so slow, even stops sometimes, and of course at exactly the wrong/busiest times.
Its a find, but keep it a secret (I love sharing, but this? It is such a treasure.).
Other than this, I download data daily to MeataStock software, which is great because you can really explore candlesticks, especially "backtesting" without having to deal with the www (wait wait wait). Plus, it has a built candlestick expert advisor which tells you what candle has appeared and what it might/usually does/could possibly mean. THAT makes it worth the price of admission, for my money.
Plus, this if you can stand analogies; I just bought a dog, so here goes... the web is like a dog that will fetch (how fast, depends on the time of day and how it feels); your own software is like actually having it now, without needing the dog to fetch it...
I know it's not that simple, but it makes the point.
Regards,
