Hi,
I saw in a previous post that Metastock DataSets purchased from Norgate cannot be modified in WealthLab. Specifically, in the data manager when you attempt to remove/edit symbols from a Metastock data set purchased from Norgate the "apply symbol changes made above to data set" button is inactive. I just want to confirm there is no way to modify this data set using WLP and find out if there is a commodities data provider that can support modifications in WLP. thanks.

yes and no.

You can't modify them from Wealth-Lab because the data are static Metastock files managed by Premium Data. However, when you perform a Premium Data update, P.Data may change symbols in a folder (like for the Nasdaq 100 components). To recognize changes to DataSets after a P.Data update, you must restart Wealth-Lab after every Premium Data update.

Remember, for Metastock data, you just tell Wealth-Lab where the data files are. Whatever MS files are in that folder, Wealth-Lab will read them on startup or first access.

The newly released data provider by NorgateData no longer relies on Metastock and makes it possible to freely modify the dynamic watchlists! Get it here:
