"it looks like these features can be run on a whole folder only"

That's what FIRE is designed to do - run on groups of securities. Make a folder out of your group of SELECTED securites, and run it on that folder.

>>given that my data provider (EVERY data provider, by the way...) would update the original folder only.

This is not the case. Anything you add to the Downloader list will update; ie: The same securites are in US Stocks as in the S&P500 folder, S&P 100 folder, etc. You just need to add the folder and its securites to the list.

Use Windows Explorer or Downloader to create the folder.

Then use Downloader to copy the securities you want to it.

Now, manually run Downloader -- Tools -- Download Prices, add the new folder & its securites and complete the Download sequence. (The next time you run Express Download, everything will update.)

Now, set up FIRE to do whatever it is you want, using that folder.

>>So I doubt creating a new folder with selected securieties would be updated with the proper daily task.

Well, either it will or it won't. Have you tried? Do you know for sure? What program is it? Have you asked their support people?


>>I was wondering if FIRE would allow me to create IN ITSELF a new "virtual" folder, just containing the securities I'm interested into.

I don't believe so.
