I've been using CompuServe for years. Mostly futures and a couple of
stocks. I'm in the process of looking at new services as I would like to
eliminate one of my two services (Internet & CompuServe).
Tried Prophet on their 30 day free trial. There was a problem in that it
only worked every other day :). Minor details unless you're trading
futures. I figured that they had a bug in downloading daily prices unless
you requested more than 1 day. Two days and more, worked fine.
Will be looking at a few other services, however since I don't use a lot of
stock data, I want to minimize my costs for equities. With CompuServe, I
pay $9.95 a month plus $.01 a quote. You have to be a CompuServe member as
well. I'm going to try to figure out if I can access this data without
being a CompuServe member. They handle the MetaStock interface without a
problem.
If you come across anything that looks great, drop me an e-mail.
Regards
Guy
