Neo:
QP downloads into Metastock files. You have to set
up your folders with a unique name for each one and the securities' names in the
folder (standard Metastock/downloader process). Next you go to QP and you list
the names of the folders that you want updated. Its all in the help system.
The download is fast enough, the conversion and
updating the files takes abut 10 to 15 minutes for about 1500 to 2000
securities. This would be faster using the QP virtual files

I
found it at www.quotes-plus.com . It
does not appear that they support a Metastock feed. I have also found that the
quality and speed of data feeds can vary quite a bit.

AW: Quotes PlusI agree with Al. I am happy with the accurate
data and the QP scanningprogram, and more than that, the constructive
and helpful attitude of thesupport staff. Not that I'd have required
support to any great extent, butwhen I needed them, they were there for
me.There is a mailing list just like the Metastock one where users
cancommunicate and also receive immediate replies from tech support. The
fewproblems that arise are as a rule experienced by users who stick with
an oldversion of the program, now obsolete. Others now and then will
have issueswith volume data on some very illiquid stocks. And of course,
the hugeamount of data provided will make for an occasional error to
creep in oncein a while, but these are usually straightened out with the
next download.QP's data format, though proprietary, has an open
interface that is easilyaccessible through Excel or VB. This QP format
is so much more compact thanthe Metastock format that one would wish for
the whole industry to adopt, orat least support it. Many do - from
AdvancedGet to Tarnsoft and others.They have a scanning language
that comes close to a real programminglanguage, much superior in power
of expression to, say, Worden's TC2000. Andthen there are fundamentals,
and commodities, and charting...All this at a price of about a
dollar a day, give or take a little,depending on your
subscription.I feel fortunate to do business with this company, and
hope for them tothrive and prosper for years to come.Kind
regards from Germany,Michael Suesserott-----Ursprüngliche

Re: Quotes PlusI use QP2 without any options, and I have had it
for almost a year. Theservice was recommended to me from several
on this list. The QP2 peopleare very customer and service
oriented. If there is ever a problem, thereis a girl named Janene
that is a great problem solver. They answer theirphones and
respond to e-mails FAST. The data is extremely accurate, andwhen
an error is observed and reported, they will reseach and
automaticallycorrect when needed. Best $18.95 data bargain I have
enjoyed.Al Taglavore----------From: Gene Ricci <<A

Quotes PlusDate: Friday, November 24, 2000 11:45 AMJust got a
trial version and I'm thinking of signing up to Quotes Plus.Does anyone
use? There seems to be a lot of 'options'....IRL, Investigator, etc. I
would like to use Quotes Plus as a stand-alonemodule. Is that possible
or do I need these other options to make it a goodtool?Any
insight would be
appreciated.Thanks,Gene
