// This method of specifying and decoding Web Pages has been chosen to make it

// it easy to use this specifying/formatting scheme to add new pages to your

// This is the Site URL (for the quote page) including any prefix characters up to the qutoes to be added,
// which will come from the .qtl file automatically as it executes
// this line was put in for checkout on weekends when no new data of weekend date is available

// This is the Site URL for the Symbol Search page.
// You will need this to use the automatic Symbol Search option

// the next entry must define the download method.
// the entry will be either "by_page" or "by_quote" or (new) "by_options"
// "by_page" means the page inherently defines the quote information which will be received.
// these are usually index pages which are predefined.
// "by_quote" means the quote requests will be appended from the .qtl file automatically
// "by_options" means an underlying symbol will be followed by a variable number of standard option quotes
by_options
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// the next entry tells MAWIN what delimeter character to add between appended quote symbols
// for example:
// www2.merrill-lynch.ml.com/htbin/indlink?tick=dis,hd,xrx,spq
// could be a valid request for this page, and the delimeter ',' is used
// other sites may use '+' or other characters as a delimeter
//+
// (to determine what delimeter is used, bring up the page using your Web Browser,
// request your stock quotes, and observe the delimeter used...usually shown in the
// top text field of your Browser, as a part of the URL.)
// if the method is "by_page", enter nothing here; MAWIN will skip this field
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// next, tell MAWIN what character string to look for as a trigger to begin looking for quotes.
// if you decide to customize your own download site, you can pick this string by first bringing
// up the site using a Web Browser, and use "file save" to save the .htm image of the page.
// then, examine the .htm file using any good text editor, such as WordPad, or Notepad.
// first look for a string which will be used as a trigger to begin looking for quotes.
// for this page, there are two types of quotes. The first trigger phrase is:
Prices for
// (it can be anywhere)
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// next, enter the trigger string which indicates the start of a quote
// unless otherwise indicated, this will be required to start the line
// for this type, it is:
TriggerStringStart=Anywhere
//TriggerStringStart=Beginning // default
<B>
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// MAWIN will automatically find quote data fields as specified by format keywords herein:
// The keywords which may be used are:
// Numeric Keyword Identifiers: (case-sensitive)
// Hi, Low, Bid, Ask, Open, Close, Prev, Change, Volume, openinterest, Date, PE_Ratio, Dividend, and Temp
// "Temp" will be available to be used to store/handle throwaway numerics between quote data
// "Temp" may be used multiple times
// Textual Keyword Identifiers:
// Symbol, Co_name, Time, ExpChar, ExpYr
// for this file/site, the parsing commands are:
// 1st for the underlying future:
1 // lines per quote
NoDate // Do Not look for Date field (none or manual specify)
//Co_name (Symbol)
Co_name
// then for the options which follow:
// for the by_options method, there is no trigger string for future quotes on the underlying symbol which follow
NoTrigger
// for this page, there is no second trigger for each of the future quotes on the underlying symbol which follow
NoTrigger
1 // lines per option
AutoDate // will search for date field and remove before processing quote
SetDateFormat=yymmdd
// Valid formats are:
// mm/dd/yy where / is a delimeter / or - (default)
// or mmddyy
// or mmddyyyy any order with or without delimeter
// use / only to indicate delimeter presence
//NoDate // Do Not look for Date field (none or manual specify)
ExpChar 1 ExpYr 1 Open Hi Low Close Change Volume openinterest
// ExpChar and ExpYr separated by 1 min space; default is 3 min
// up to 20 identifier types per quote may be specified
// modifiers may be needed, to make adjustments of scale, such as this case where volume is
// quoted in 1000's of shares, and must be adjusted to shares.
// supported modifiers are '*' and '/'
//Volume * 1000
