I'm looking to do system tests with confirmation of intraday moves from cumulative nyse advancing-declining issues, using MS pro and quotecenter. Not sure how to reference their location with the security function, or the symbol(s) to use, have used the security function successfully with MS EOD, should just need to add the cumulative function if the symbol doesn't include it. Referencing US&AMDN located in BM Data folder doesn't work as the filenames are all named f-number.dat in the folder. I can run a test as if trading it, so, there's some kind of data there, just not accessible via the security function. I also need to specify a time interval for testing, which I didn't see discussed anywhere.

I also found stuff on other symbols, &YHIN and &YLON for new nyse highs and lows, and X.NYSE-A and X.NYSE-D for nyse advancing/declining issues and volume somehow combined, but just need AD issues intraday.....
Thanks
:)

The data in BM Data is Daily data. It does not update live, but by updating this folder via the DownLoader. To access intraday data, you would either have to have created Local Intraday Securities (which have limitations) or you would need to use the Online: parameter in the Security Data function, i.e.: Cum(Security("Online:us&AMDN",C)) Please note that the Security function when used with live data seems to be very hard on system resources. If you notice that the computer or MetaStock is sluggish, you may want to remove such indicators from the charts and see if performance improves.
