Wrong filtering because of wrong data!

<span
>uhehs, what data collector program are you using to
pull the eSignal data? Do you have Metastock Pro and just use the
Downloader? Or are you using another program?

<span
>DP – you seem to be
where I was about 12 months ago.
<span
>Here’s what I
learned [IT WILL SAVE YOU FROM PULLING YOUR HAIR OUT!!!]
<span
>
<span
>I started off using
Reuters EOD to update all my local data [folders or symbols I created on my
hard drive]. The answer to your first question is to run the downloader
to update to the most current day.
<span
>
<span
>I used to go into each
individual error, and decipher if it was a symbol change, something that was
bought out and no longer exists, etc. Most of the time the exchange added
an “E” or a “Q”, etc. Well, that took some time
every night/week/month, but I was confident I had the best data hands down!!!
<span
>
<span
>NOW, all I do
is………..[I dropped Reuters] and am updating my local data
through my eSignal subscription. I update my symbol list once a month and
spend some time on that one Saturday or Sunday setting up folders to explorer
on for the following month.
<span
>
<span
>There still remains some
errors etc when doing this, but that updates symbol list normally filters out
bad data. Truthfully, all you need is a handful of stocks in your outputs
for you to trade/study/system test, etc. I’ve even heard of people
who have stuck to five stocks, or other instruments and have traded them
religiously for years.

<span

<span

<span

own formulas <img border=0 width=18 height=18

<span

wrong than what I expected!<img border=0 width=18 height=18

<span

<span
>I did "Open chart" and charts don't look
like what I expected. Furious and frustrated for some time, I double checked my
formulas, and finally went back to chart. Looking at data window bruoght up
potential problem. All charts which showed up wrong were only updated till
03/01 or in the vacinity of that day. So problem is
<span

<span
>1> how one can make sure that all data used in
exploration has complete set of data?
<span
>2> I have so many errors on my downloader report,
probably everyday with errors like "Unknown symbol", and
"Collection aborted-timeout error" - which I think is the cause of
missing data. I couldn't get in touch with Equis support - site just didn't
respond! yestersday in evening hours -
<span

<span
>Meanwhile, I thought I should go to this group and
find out
<span
>1> You guys ever had similar problems with
downloader?
<span
>2> How do you handle such issues, I don't want to
delete securities because of previous errors. Could any filter be created that
filters out securities based on "good data present" condition, and
pass these securities to main exploration?
