re: metastock......hi richard.
We have a feature called "Custom Folders" in which we pre-generated lists for you in the various categories (by index participation, sector, etc.)
For example, our ASX folder is structured into: equities\A-Z folders indices etos\A-Z folders warrants\A-Z Folders indicators interest bearing\A-Z Folders
we also have a folder called custom folders in which you can elect which lists you want generating.
eg. custom folders\ASX All Ordinaries custom folders\ASX Short Sellable Securities custom folders\ASX Gold Stocks etc.
We currently have about 90 pre-generated and automatically updated lists that give you all sorts of ways of organising your data.
The current list is at: http://www.premiumdata.net/products/premiumdata/asxcustomfolders.php
