Re: [amibroker] Yahoo caution

Hello,
 
There are 2 data providers that supply Yahoo with 
quotes:
CSI - that provides historical data
and
Reuters - that provides 'current' (today) data.
 
CSI is considered as very reliable and clean. Reuters is not 
that reliable and not that clean.
Therefore 'historical' mode can be considered quite reliable, 
especially considering the
fact that it is being given for free.
 
You may try also eSignalCentral FREE quotes (available via 
AMiQuote 1.55).
eSignal reputation is one of the best.
 
Of course there is a wide array of paid EOD providers and for 
price/features (fundamentals included)
I would consider Quotes Plus to be the best deal among 
subscription-based EOD providers.
 
Best regards,Tomasz Janeczkoamibroker.com

caution
    
    I know some of 
    you are using Yahoo data.
    <FONT face=Arial

    In the Stock 
    Analyzer we also use Yahoo data.
    <FONT face=Arial

    I have just 
    discovered a problem in Yahoo data.
    <FONT face=Arial 
    size=2> 
    Example is QQQ. 
    If you check the historical data for QQQ on Yahoo it should be complete 
    through Jul18th.
    <FONT face=Arial 
    size=2> 
    Sometimes it is. 
    But If I check it a minute later it might stop with JUL 16 
    data.
    <FONT face=Arial 
    size=2> 
    Repeated checks 
    get randomly alternating returns of those two 
situations.
    <FONT face=Arial 
    size=2> 
    Also happens on 
    NDX, and I am guessing could be happening on any call for Yahoo historical 
    data.
    <FONT face=Arial 
    size=2> 
    I noticed this 
    when another Stock Analyzer user reported a signal I was not seeing on my 
    chart.
    <FONT face=Arial 
    size=2> 
    At this time I 
    would be careful if using Yahoo data.
