Scott, I agree....what's the problem....so many go up - so many go down - so many are unchanged This is realy basic stuff.... I looked into 3 different sources and all 3 were different over a similar period of time. Some differences were over 20+ and this was continious over the 25d period. Maybe it's to much to handle....for some 'body' adding up and subtracting all those NYSE companies by hand calculator at each source. Yahoo's A/D actually changes from the close and later the next morning. Yesterday at close A=1337 by morning =1350.....D=1660 by morning =1681 This mornings WSJ has A=1350 D=1681 It may have something to do with how tired the accountants are at 4:00pm>smile< Some of the historical data bases I looked at were completely different from the recorded daily figures presented on screen to those recorded in the historical data base. I'll be using the WSJ.... Makes you wonder about all that inocuious data compiled for users and the underling reliability of those data baisis for indexes and other charting material being churned out by providers. Wait until the year 2000 bug to change anything.... Especially if your system works today. Just a Thought Chip
