    What are the security function symbols for different time frames? Please?

    I'd like to do a system test using different time frames of same symbol.  I have loaded SPY Daily, SPY Weekly, and SPY monthly into a folder called SPY data using the downloader.  I'd like to pull these securities into a system test but I can't find the actual symbols anywhere...

    I know security("C:\Metastock Data\SPY DATA\"SPY",C) pulls the Daily, but how do I pull the weekly and monthly???  Thanks for any help...

      Can't you change time frames in the options tab. You will have to run each
      "time frame" separately.

      You can also change time frames on a chart by right clicking the date scale at the bottom of the
     screen and selecting Periodicity.
