hey eric.... patricks dll had a index function..... not sure if its included in the current version in the download section.... the security function will allow you to add quite a few..... the indicator character limitation will eventually halt any additional components.... there are ways around that limitation, not sure how many securities you were considering summing up...... an obvious method to squeeze in more would by by shorting the file path.... all local data folders do not have to be included in the primary 'metastock data'..... if you consider that, use a number instead of a letter.... in other words, to save characters , don't reduce 'C:\\MetaStock Data\\dow 30\\msft' down to 'C:\\m\\d\\msft' ....... use something like 'C:\\5\\msft' ...... computers talk fast and certain letter combinations can screw up the works.......h [code:1:cceab8fe71]Security("C:\\MetaStock Data\\dow 30\\msft", C)+ Security("C:\\MetaStock Data\\dow 30\\intc", C)+ Security("C:\\MetaStock Data\\dow 30\\ibm", C)+ Security("C:\\MetaStock Data\\dow 30\\cat", C)+ Security("C:\\MetaStock Data\\dow 30\\ge", C);[/code:1:cceab8fe71] [code:1:cceab8fe71]Security("C:\\5\\msft", C)+ Security("C:\\5\\intc", C)+ Security("C:\\5\\ibm", C)+ Security("C:\\5\\cat", C)+ Security("C:\\5\\ge", C);[/code:1:cceab8fe71]
