Hi
I use your historical quotes feature
to download daily data from your
wbsite on a number of stocks. Recently
it seems you are blocking anyone who
tries to access historical quotes
repeatedly for difffernt stocks using
an automated program for downloading
quotes. This is quite annoying for
myself and many other traders who have
been using your website for a number
of years now to download this daily
quote data on different stocks. I
strongly encourage you to lift this
blocking mechanism and allow users to
download data from your website as
before since the "Historical Quotes"
feature is of very limited use if it
cannot be used to download data on
different stocks using a program.
Thanks and best regards
