That is correct, Kevin. I'm also getting the same result.
I did not do ASCII import, but manually appended today's price (Setups->Price and Symbol Setups.. and then updating for XIV). Had to also rebuild sector indexes (File->Rebuild Sector Indexes ) after manual insertion.
Question - Is it sufficient to update only XIV price data, or is there a need to update other indexes as well ? Does any of the 30 strategies rely on index data (e.g. ^DJI or ^SPX) ?

Kevin and others, how do you use the ASCII method of downloading? I have download the data for XIV from yahoo, and got a .csv file (opens with Excel) on my desktop. What do I have to fill out on the SS import form? I am an older guy without much tech knowledge. Thanks.

Yahoo now seems to be working again without any program crashes. That is very good news. I am now getting a crash every single time I try to import using Google Finance.

I used Yahoo last night. However, Yahoo is slower. I'm showing the same signals. Thanks!

Question - Pre-market price for XIV these morning shows a gap up at 119.85 up 1.46 % from yesterday's close. What is the best way to play this to get a better price?

I'm not using Google or Yahoo for data and have slightly different signals. I show filters #20, #38, and #40 to buy at open on 11/30. #6 and #16 are still holds.
I checked my price data and they are the same as Yahoo's. Odd.

I glad to see others are getting the crash when using google. It looks like google changed there whole finance page. I downloaded XIV historical data and imported via ASCII. Ran the signal and I get 3 new buys. Is that what others are seeing? Thank you

@tennisplayer2,
If you look at the Stratasearch help file, contents, Importing Prices and Sectors, section Importing Prices and scroll down to the ASCII Format section and read it you should easily update the table located in the File menu Import Prices section.
It would take me longer to type out an explanation of every step than it will take you to read that section and execute it successfully.
However, if you read it and try it, and it doesn't load for some reason I'll help further.
Thanks,
Ed S.
