MetaStock custom lists serve multiple purposes in CUE systems.
CUE Market Breadth uses the local lists that are a part of custom lists.
CUE Global and CUE Finder use online lists for charting and scanning. The online lists are also a part of custom lists.
You can set up both of these components of custom lists as I have set up following the steps below.
Note: I have done this for MetaStock18, the latest version as of this post date. It may work on later or earlier versions too. However, I have not tested it out.
The lists are up to date as of the day of this post. You may update it from time to time. Say, once in three months.
1. Close MetaStock.
2. Go to the folder on your computer (the user name has to be replaced by the user name for your computer):
C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Innovative Market Analysis\MetaStock\18.0
3. Rename CustomLists as a folder as CustomListsOld (this is to save a backup).
4. Download the CustomLists as I have set up from the cloud following this link (it has a compressed/.Zip file):
5. Uncompress the downloaded file and place the CustomLists folder in the path mentioned in step 2.
6. Open MetaStock.
Your custom lists are now set up precisely as on my computer for CUE Market Breadth and CUE Global & Finder.
