Re: Stock data for all the stocks on NYSE/NASDAQ

Brett,

Thanks again
I declare I must be a dingbat

I succeeded in creating .aqh files. I checked with URL format for data 
that comes with the demo version, and it looks fine.

I now can't get AmiBroker to load it. I tried using the AsciiWizard 
with the default settings - with colon(,) as the separator. I am using 
your original file as .CSV file. I tried saving it as a .tls file but 
Windows saves it as XX.tls.csv file. 

Any ideas, anybody
Thanks again

K
