On OBV. I changed to weighted average, ran a scan, let the scan create a VIRTUAL and looked at these in MS. The OBV Crossing for Every chart was correct when viewed in MS but not so when viewed in QP2. It must have something to do with the way the OBV indicator is calced for display purposes by QP2. I also have DOP files turned off. It's good to hear that the values are the same in the QP scans and MS. You might find that you use MS more to view charts anyway. If I use MS Downloader to create "Composite Securities" inside a Virtual Directory, any updates will remove the composites required me to recreate them. This is an interesting discovery. You've certainly been busy. I create my composities in an MSDATA directory of all the indexes, not a directory with QPV files. Then I have the QP to Meta program update that directory automatically each night after downloading. The only problem I've had lately with indexes created from composites is that they've all been going down (especially the McClellan Summation Index). We'll have to unite and march on Wall Street.

HI Monty, I do not believe MS Downloader will allow you to create a composite in a different directory than the one from which it gathers the info for the composite. Correct, I had the same problem when I tried to do composites last night. Had thought about copying the composites to another dir until the update by QP2 was complete, then moving them back to the virtual dir. This is where I had the automatic update function of QP to MSWIN doing the work for me after it had the data download complete. As long as my path was correct it updated every download. I will have to leave it that way. By the way my Default chart in MSWIN 6.5 is the composite of Mclellen index. Arctic Mike
