Subject: [amibroker] Australian Stock Exchange data for Amibroker
> Hi guys,
>
> I'm wondering if there are any Australian users of Amibroker out there?
> If so, can anybody recommend a good way to get end-of-day data, ideally
> without shelling out hundreds of dollars for a subscription!
>
> The Amibroker helpfile suggests using the Australian finance.yahoo.com
> with AmiQuote, but I seem to get some very strange data with that
> method. For example, it seems to be pricing Telstra (TLS) at about $12.
> I wish that were true but it's really down in the $5.20's. Meanwhile,
> Woolworths (WOW) just doesn't seem to get any data at all. Although the
> yahoo / amiquote method seems to produce accurate prices in AmiBroker
> for a few stocks, many of them seem to be missing or simply wrong. And
> it's obviously impractical to manually check 1800-odd securities so if
> even one or two are erroneous, the whole database becomes worthless.
>
> There is another method listed in one of the AmiBroker newsletters using
> a chunk of java, a custom applet called URLget and a site named
> australian-stockmarket.com. Unfortunately, however, this site appears to
> have vanished, so it is impossible to get any data from it.
>
> I use ComSec as my broker and they provide a facility for downloading
> historical data, but it doesn't include open prices (only HLC so no
> candlesticks). Also you have to do it stock by stock so it's a big job
> to download the entire ASX every day!
>
> Does anyone have any other suggestions? Or has somebody managed to get
> it working with yahoo? I'd really appreciate any advice because the
> software looks good but it's useless without a reliable and
> comprehensive data supply!
>
> Many thanks,
