Fred, I'm not exactly sure what is your purpose, but seems to me that if you want to trade in practice mode, it would be just as easy (and a whole lot more fun) to use CyBerTrader to trade using Demo Mode with today's live data. You get to trade against current realtime data, but you're just in the paper-trade mode. Why do you need to trade against yesterday's data instead? Also, to archive all the data from yesterday from all the many stocks that are available (thousands and thousands), it would take up quite a bit of storage, give the techs at CyBer just one more thing to do instead of servicing their clients who are actually trading and generating income (commissions) for the company. Why create the extra work? Only reason I could see would be so you could re-work the trades you did yesterday. But what would be the point? You already know what happened yesterday, so re-trading it wouldn't be realistic. Better to just trade using today's realtime data, in Demo Mode if you wish, or live, imho. Bill
