< download the Metastock downloader > I'm using the Full version of Downloader. The version they give you on the site is the bare bones model, unless they changed it since the June, July timeframe when I started doing this. Actually, I got it running then. It's since I upgraded the hardware/ software that I've been having problems. It may be because it's Win98. Does Downloader work on Pinnacle? I have to go find their site. By the time you read this I should have found it. I'm going to putz around another hour then head outside. As the weather gets colder I'm more and more reluctant to get work done around the external part of the house. EDIT That was easy, pinnacledata.com

Okay, I was able to finagle the continuous contracts I wanted. I see Pinnacle comes with a different downloading software. I figure I have to makes about 35 or 40 points on a single contract just to pay for the hardware, software, and data to make enough money to pay for all this data, hardware. and software. Not to mention the travel and phone bills. Now I see why people talk about these things.....it's like a penny stock gone bad. Once one puts all the cash and time into it he wants others to jump in so he does feel as foolish. So I would like to recommend that everyone try ANNs.....
