RE: Using "N" days of data per Period

If you 
are using Reuter's EOD data they truncate volume by 100. Be certain to multiply 
your volume figures by 100 to get the real volume.

  PMTo: Equis InternationalSubject: Using "N" days of data 
  per Period
  I have been saving 
  my data in an normal sequence until I experience a holiday like July 4. Then I 
  have skipped this date and continued to record data. That is: data for July 2, 
  July 3, July 5, July 6, July 9 ... If I use a period of three days to compress 
  for each data plot. How does your software handle this? Is this different 
  from plotting data with the inserted holiday 
  code?

  I believe the last 
  three days data to compress on July 5 would include July 5, July 3 and July 2. 
  For data prices it would result in a high, low, last and open based on the 
  last three days data would be considered as occurring in one day. Also the 
  absolute volume would be accumulated for those three days.

  Would you please 
  explain how your software performs this function. I am using a formula to 
  accumulate the last three days of absolute Volume and then dividing by three, 
  these values are then plotted. I have observed these plots do not conform to 
  daily plots of volume. Is this possibly an error in my software 
  loaded?
