Morningstar's ETF website for EndofDay.

As a charting platform, NinjaTrader is fine (+ its free). For back-testing and managing price data, it should look at MultiCharts for help.

I did a windows search of the Market CD and its under \\Indices\\VIX My CD is older but the hierarchy should be the same

I debated raidz (RAID 5) vs raidz2 (RAID 6). I tried to balance redundancy with future available free space. If I had 3 TB drives, I may have gone with RAID 6. I have 2 spares (same brand, same model, new-in-box); I should have added this to my total cost. However, they are not installed as I...

Thanks, I have used CSI in the past. I should have mentioned my data files are intraday (1 min). CSI is end-of-day only.

Is this site a joke? Who would pay for this?
