<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial size=2>To all and equis,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial size=2>I have just started downloading data 
from RTD using the downloader and have numerous &quot;invalid symbols&quot; 
error messages in the download report.&nbsp; Does anyone know if these are just 
old symbols from now non-existent companies?&nbsp; I assume that if the company 
was still alive that RTD would have given me the new symbol to use and update 
the database as it has with many other symbol changes.&nbsp; My original data 
base is from the MS6.5 data disk which ends in October 97 therefore all 
companies that now are invalid symbols were valid companies less than two months 
ago.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial size=2>Any help would be appreciated.&nbsp; 
I hope to know be able to participate more in online discussions that I have 
been following for the past few months.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial size=2>thanks in advance,</FONT></DIV>

First create an indicator with the value of the horizontal line you wish to
use, say 1.25675. For convience name the indicator "HLine 1.25675". Next apply
this indicator to the chart or with an other indicator such as the MACD.
Finally save the chart as a template with a name you select such as "MACDwHL".
You can then  open this template the next time you open a new chart and it
will then apply to all the charts you scroll through. Subsequently you can go
to another template for a different set of conditions.

I use the HLine approach with several different values of horizontal lines and
specially developed formulas all within one indicator which is captured as a
template.

Hope this helps,
