It may not be just the numbers in the symbol but rather that there are more than four(4) characters in the symbol. Try that too.

I exported the list to Metastock with the QP export to Metastock feature. Metastock reads it fine....GET doesn't even show it when I point to the Metastock directory that contains it.

With the old metastock program, or form the beta program?

For instance...it doesn't recognize the June07 S&P contract, It is visible in my Metastock directory, but doesn't appear when I view that same directory in GET. Also sent you a request for QP upgrade...since my current beta has "expired." (????) Where do I download the latest version?

Gary ----- Original Message ----- From: Claud Baruch To: quotes-plus@ <mailto:[email protected]> yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, May 06, 2007 8:38 AM Subject: [quotes-plus] AdvancedGET User Hi Gary, Is there a way to improve the recognition of QuotesPlus' futures symbols by AdvancedGET? Some are accepted by GET...many are not. What I do is export a list of QP futures to Metastock and then try and use GET with that directory. Like I said, it works OK for some...not for many others. Any help is greatly appreciated. Regards, Claud gary wrote: Hi I just brought in all the !ID indexes into AmiBroker. In AmiBroker - File - Database Settings - Configure - Retrieve Just make sure that indexes is checked. I think that if you do it during the week, they don't get picked up as there is no current data, and they are skipped if Exclude symbols without quotes is checked. Update your Quotes Plus data first, then try it with Amibroker, it should work for you.
