Can you also help me on this data topic,...
I currently use MS10 with TC2000 data,... I use the TC2000 - Smart Export to Metastock - feature and get up to 256 symbols downloaded directly to Metastock format after I download data for TC2000 Does anyone know if this capability will still work if I was to upgrade to MS13?

Previous versions could use local data in either .dat format (MetaStock format) or import 8 column .csv files (for OHLCV import). MS 13 can now use the latter local data (.csv files) but not the .dat files. If you are using MS 13 to retrieve data (in .dat format) for other analysis programs, you are currently out of luck. MS 13 provides no method for saving local OHLCV data (there is no Downloader). On the other hand, previous MS versions continue to work and include the Downloader for saving OHLCV data to your local drive. Personally, I use the current MetaStock version but also kept my Reuters Datalink subscription so I can continue using MetaStock ’s Downloader (allowing me to save and store OHLCV datafiles locally). MS 12/13 cannot use this local data, but, like you, I use it for other programs that can read and use MetaStock format files. I will shortly be upgrading my plug-ins for older versions of MetaStock to the current versions. When done, you will be able to import .csv local data of any number of columns and use it in MetaStock as well as export any values in MetaStock to any format you need for use outside of the program. Give me a month or two. I will keep you posted. Thank you. L. P.

I see they have added local data access back. So is there any real difference between 13 and pre-12 versions, like 11 or 10? I have 10, and I use MS Datalink for my data. Harry
