I used Yahoo last night. However, Yahoo is slower. I'm showing the same signals. Thanks!

Question - Pre-market price for XIV these morning shows a gap up at 119.85 up 1.46 % from yesterday's close. What is the best way to play this to get a better price?

I'm not using Google or Yahoo for data and have slightly different signals. I show filters #20, #38, and #40 to buy at open on 11/30. #6 and #16 are still holds.
I checked my price data and they are the same as Yahoo's. Odd.

I glad to see others are getting the crash when using google. It looks like google changed there whole finance page. I downloaded XIV historical data and imported via ASCII. Ran the signal and I get 3 new buys. Is that what others are seeing? Thank you

@tennisplayer2,
If you look at the Stratasearch help file, contents, Importing Prices and Sectors, section Importing Prices and scroll down to the ASCII Format section and read it you should easily update the table located in the File menu Import Prices section.
It would take me longer to type out an explanation of every step than it will take you to read that section and execute it successfully.
However, if you read it and try it, and it doesn't load for some reason I'll help further.
Thanks,
Ed S.

Careful - this has been my worst behavior with regard to this system. I have been trying to get in at a better price (which should work) only to be left in the dust on a bunch of very good trades. I would have made more money just buying at the open than trying to squeeze out another 1% on the entry (now you are hard pressed to get even that versus just buying and waiting).
Note - I added another 4,000 shares of XIV at the open today based on last night's signals. In at $120.08. I put my money where my mouth is with these systems - it is basically all I trade at the moment. Currently holding 10,000 shares of XIV at an average cost of $119.83. This includes entries from several systems including my neural networks. My goal is to stick with the systems and trade them as they were designed, rather than to try and out-think them.

Kevin - Since SS is not supported, what is the backup plan if in the future SS quits working - meaning no longer runs the daily signals?
