Richard, I have To Agree that Qp Is Faster In Every Respect, But just thinking that I have to go thru the Pain Of making That Data Available In Wow Format gives me The Chill(I know It reads Metastock directly-But with the limitation Of 255 files per Directory, It Won't Do it for me, cause I'll have to Scan each individual Directory, and then I'm back from Where I've started !!!). Have tried the Import Feature that Wow Has, and It just Didn't Work Well For Me. It might Work On a very Small Scale, but It is Doomed to failure when tried on the Whole market at once. Have tried it And it took me A Week to sort thru and find the bad Apples(corrupted files) that came as a result Of the importing feature, before I could make Wow usable again. So Putting The Wow Assistant to Work for a couple of hours every day it's not that big of A Issue. Would be nice though if the guys @ QP would came up with a solution for Wow, but till then that's the best alternative of clean EOD data...for me.... Unless someone Else got a better alternative !!! And Lets Not forget that QP makes EOD available After 8 pm, where Prophet Is after 4:30 pm( I had to throw this One in, it feels better), which puts me Well ahead of the Pack by not having to stay up too late. Btw, If I had 5 charting programs I'm sure that I've the same EOD provider as you (Since most read Metastock format), But being just what I am...a simple man, I'll stick with Wow cause it just does the job for now. Happy, not really, but it Works better that any other alternative Known to me. Julius.

Richard, could you clarify "but I do wait for a couple of hours for clean data"? I'm using the 6pm beta site; would data downloaded from there be cleaner at 8pm? Bob
