It could be that the Microsoft Investor web site could be using the THERORETICAL Highs and lows for the Dow - they would be miles apart with the actual - as far as I know, TC2000 historical Dow data is fine Bob Wallace

>My problem: I just started scanning P&F column reversal dates for the DJIA in Jan of 97, and the high and lows from TC2000 and the MSFT Investor site are miles apart. One of them is wrong. Eric, I'm not familiar at all with what you are seeing and why. But FWIW, it seems to me from what you described that you can't really conclude that either TC2000 or MSFT Investor's data is wrong since you are apparently not reading directly from either source. In other words, I get the impression you've moved data into a third variable - your PnF scanning program, what ever that might be. Possibly it's a problem with that program as it interprets different sources of data, as opposed to the source of the incoming raw data itself? I don't know. Just speculating on possibilities. The way I would approach the dilemma is to isolate as many variables as possible by reading directly each of the two sources of data with something other than a PnF screening program. Then if one or the other data sets is off, try and locate a third or fourth source of data to confirm one or the other. Or, you might try moving the incoming data from both sources into an alternative third variable, such as a spreadsheet or some other program to see if the data differences persist. The idea is to try and identify and isolate each possible variable, preferably one at a time. It just seems to me that your assumption that there necessarily has to be something wrong with either TC2000 data or with Microsoft Investor data might not be an accurate assumption. Maybe I'm not understanding your problem correctly and maybe none of the above will be of any help. But if it is, fine. Otherwise, just hit the "next" button. <g> Good luck in locating a definitive answer to your problem. If you get an answer, please post it. I'm curious as to what's going on. Ice
