Hello,

 With Metastcok 10.1 the data was on our computer and I could calculate the percentage of title (On indice ) that was above a moving average . How with Metastock XIII ?

Hi, I am not familiar with the term 'percentage of title' but you can still use the "Security" data function to call price data from other symbols via the MetaStock formula language. Perhaps if you can explain further exactly what you were doing in MetaStock 10.1 we can make sure you can reproduce this in MetaStock 13.

Hello,

 

I use translation because I am not bilingual.

 In MetaStock , I create directories indices ( ex Russell 2000).

After updates data in MetaStock 10.1, I calculate the percentage (%) of title that are above a moving average . I do it with Spyglass (FIRE also do the same thing).

How to figure that if I can not have the data on my computer whit Metastock XIII?

Hi, Previously you could perform a scan on all the constituent stocks of an index, within a local folder on your hard drive. Spyglass was designed around the use of Local Data, but is not designed to work with "online data". However, you could perform a scan via an "online list" looking for the Russell 2000 stocks that are above their moving average. You can still perform scans like this but you would be selecting online data, not local data. The Russell 2000 does not exist in our symbol database, but a custom list could easily be created in MetaStock and you would then be able to perform the scan. The first step would be to create the list of 2000 stocks, then you would simply select the exploration you'd like to run and select this list of 2000 stocks.
