My goal is a complete QP data export to MetaStock, and then to
WOW. I would like to keep them all in sync so I can scan and
chart in all 3 products. QP to MS is a no-brainer, MS to WOW seems
to require too much manual labor across too many directories
Remember though, that even if you do get everything exported, there will be stocks that get delisted, or new stocks added to the market. That will mean you will need to clean up the dead weight occasionally and scan once in a while to get new issues if you are trying to get everything.
Do you really want 'everything'? If you will never be buying stock XYZ because it is declining from $1.00 and has never been in an uptrend and trades only 100 shares a week, do you want this in your database?
A suggestion would to make a scan to cut it down from 11,000 items down to something more managable. Maybe just stocks you are interested at a minimum requirement. You could do a simple scan that checked for just stocks between $2 and $100 and trades at least 10,000 shares a week or whatever, but something to cut the database down. This may be something you really want to do, but you might want a fast computer to track 11,000 stocks daily.
