I've imported a small set of dates -- not consecutive -- which all have "1" as the closing price.
EXAMPLE:
Code:
Date Close
8/31/1998 1
9/21/2001 1
10/9/2002 1
Using The Downloader's CONVERT function to import, the data seems OK. Now, using the "Security" function in an indicator (on any security)...
Code:
Security("C:\METASTOCK DATA\IMPORT\_Bull",C);
...and plotting in a separate window, the security ALWAYS shows up as an horizontal line with the value of "1". I expected the "1" value ONLY on the dates imported, but it shows up as a constant value of "1" on every date.
What's wrong?

hey johnathan.... the trouble is close is close untill further notice.... a closing value of 1 stays 1 untill it's different...
possibly you can achieve your goal by using something like
Security("aaaa",C)>Ref( Security("aaaa",C),-1)
of course you'd use your data path.... consecutive days might pose a problem..... just a quick thought....h
