Does anyone want Ultra 9, Ultra 10, Ultra SFO, and Ultra Sector Software? I paid lifetime data on Ultra 9. So, the Ultra 10 software works only with Ultra 9 programs. That is no big deal, as Ultra 10 just got into over optimization programs anyway - in my opinion. Ultra SFO is still a nice program and can be used with your own data. I paid $700 for that. Ultra Sector was around for a few years and had the top sector rotation programs at the time around. I paid well over $1000 during my time using Ultra software. I had used it from mid 90's through all of 2013. It is good stuff. Through Ultra I designed my own strategies that I can now run in Excel or Amibroker. You can still do that with Ultra. As you know.....the data died in September 2013. But on it has data on the big indexes like the DOW and SP500 back to 1942. The plus is, you can build and run your programs historically up to September 2013. You could then manually walk forward to see how valid your programming would have been through current times. Some would say that is one of the right ways to system test anyway. Ultra SFO could be used with external data (like Yahoo) up through current dates. I do not want to SELL this ULTRA software. I will however trade it for something. I like musical instruments. If interested, let me know what you have got.

Anyone have any more info on this Ultra disappearance mystery? The web site is still open and still looks set up to take money. I dealt with Steve Hunter when he first started his work as shareware in the mid 90's. Still recall his other early works like Ultra 31, early Ultra composite testing, SFO, and Sector. He was such a stand up guy. Hard to believe his legacy is ending like this. I have tried calling too and get a recorded message as if they are still in business. Never get a reply from phone calls or emails. Hopefully someone here knows the final story.

Some of you are able to keep Ultra updated manually? I am using Yahoo data in the proper Ultra dat file format and Ultra does not update. Last date of run is 09/13/13. How are you getting it to update manually? I have been an Ultra user since mid 90's. Thanks ======= Follow up: Thanks NDXtrends for the reminder in how to to this in Ultra.

Found this home phone number for Steve Hunter in Breckenridge, Colorado. Pretty sure it is the right Steve. I left a message on the voice mail. Maybe some more folks here could also call to see if we could get an answer to this mystery. This is very strange. Here is is: 970-453-4830

I also have been a user and data subscriber of Ultra since they started in mid 90's with the DOS version of U31. I have a lifetime membership for the data. Data stopped downloading in mid- September 2013 I have called and emailed Steve Hunter a dozen times. No reply. If anyone figures out what is going on please let me know. The data was great and so was the Ultra software.
