Tradestation can only read the first 255 securities of a MetaStock directory. Therefore not all securities can be displayed. MLDownloader can split directories containing more than 255 securities in multiple sub directories with only 255 securities. Click on the Download->Options->Change button to define the number of securities in a MetaStock directory.
