eSignal is the easiest, but they have a problem (which they are
working on).  The problem (and TJ may jump in here to clarify any
mistake I might make) is that there are occasionally some data
transmission errors between the exchange and eSignal's data provider.
As a result, they too often give an incorrect Open, which often
results in even an incorrect range.  But for EOD, they are as
accurate as anyone, just much more expensive.  ^_^

I use Download Quotes and two other services for EOD.  I verify for
agreement, and then try to sort it out if someone is off.  Usually
EOD data is in agreement.

It is a principle I entirely agree with.  I think I can PROVE it, in
fact, and I doubt anyone else can prove the contrary.  Plain and
simple, mostly only pros short.  Most people can't, don't, or think
it's against nature, God, and man -- even unpatriotic.  Most of the
time, shorting is absolutely a waste of your time, and a needless
risk of your equity. But, *very* carefully timed in a confirmed bear
market, it can be worthwhile.  I am *sure* I can still make more
money on the short-covering rallies, however. ^_^

But anyone who thinks both sides work the same way just hasn't been
around very long, IMO.  (Yeah, I know this will bring some heat from
you "always in" guys.  In the immortal words of one GHWB, "Bring it
on!")
