Question for you all There is a product called Quotes-Plus that allows one to get daily updates on all 8000+ stocks/indices/mutuals/etc. a day. I believe it keeps a 2 year revolving database (i.e. last day gets tossed while the new daily download gets merged). The problem is, that Quotes plus uses its own proprietary data format. I know they have a converter to go to metastock but it seems that there is no convenient way to batch all 8000 symbols and convert to Metastock easily (i.e. a group of symbols, but not all is possible.. I want ALL). Does anyone know how one can do this same thing with Metastock 6.5? I realize there are several hurdles here: (1) Get the last 2 years of data and keep it current (2) Download the daily data for all 8000+ symbols (3) Delete the last date of the 2 year database Anyone know where I can pull down 2 years of data (between say, Jan 1996 up to today) or a CD of data in Metastock 6.5 format with roughly most of the entire US stock markets (and if possible, mutual fund, and indices/sector data)? Back filling can take too long and I don't want to go through lengthy data conversions. Thank you, MrBuzz
