It only takes a minute to "point" your program to Prophet. Follow these steps to download data with the ProphetDirect service.
- Start the Window on WallStreet program.
- Click on the Securities button
- Click on the Download button
- Click on the Data Service button
Make sure Dial Data (Internet) protocol is selected from the Data Services list. (ProphetDirect uses the same downloading protocol as Dial Data. By following these instructions, you will not be using the Dial Data service.)
- Click the Account Info button.
If you are using a new or different username and password, enter them in the User Id and Password boxes. Also, make sure Download Fundamental Data and Download Market Guide Data are not checked.
- At the bottom of the dialog box, change the first Internet Address to data.prophet.net and the Alternate Address to data.prophet.net.
(Note: Do not cut and paste these addresses; you must type them in manually.)
- Click the OK button to close the dialog box, then click the OK button to finish your changes.
