when I use the minutes data and wanna get the daily value from other security, I use the following script:

Ddata := (Security("C:\MetaStock Data\data\xxxx",Ref(C,-1)));
if (H<Ddata,1,0) <----this H is for Minutes bar..~

it prompt me a error like that:

"Error retrieving data for Security() function.  No security with a compatible periodicity found in folder Path C:\MetaStock Data\data\xxxx"

I use MetaStock Pro in fact....

how can I fix this??......

Many thx!!!!

When you use the Security() function, MS will look for the security data with the same time frame as the open chart.  If you're looking at a 1 min chart, MS will look for 1min data in the security nominated.

If you want to combine time periods, you can use Roy Larsen's codes (available from his website: http://www.metastocktips.co.nz/ ) or some time compression functions are available in various MS add-ins (the exact list doesn't spring to mind right now)


Hope this helps.
