Re: [amibroker] Yahoo ASX historical data

Can you tell me how you're getting historical EOD 
data for the ASX. I choose Yahoo Historical in AmiQuote drop-down list box, and 
From/To date back to 1970, 1900 or whatever you like, but Amiquote only 
downloads 200 bars of ASX data (approx Sep 2002 onwards). What am 
I doing wrong?
 
Perhaps this ties in with the YAHOO web site which 
normally only displays 200 bars of data at any one time?

  historical data
  Thanks MichaelJust did the download using amiquote, 
  luckily as time goes back the numberof stocks reduces. Not a quick task, 
  but worth it as I can at least findwhere I have holes in my data, and 
  provided the price is above 50cents thenthe prices should be ok. Shame 
  about only 2 decimal places as this negatesany useful data below 50 cents. 
  (need 3 decimal places for that)Found doing it in 9 month slabs did 
  the job without any problems, and thedata goes back to Jan 1981, although 
  pre 1991 there was no Open prices justlisted equal to the days close, so 
  either there were total Doji days, or theopen=close. ;-) Guess no open 
  prices were recorded then.What I found of slight interest is that you 
  could almost tell the bullmarket times, or maybe just the pre-crash times 
  as the number of stockslisting during certain years was greater than in 
  between times. Eg 1981/82then 1985/86 and 1998/99 were particular periods 
  when a lot of stocks leftthe list as I downloaded backwards, ie their 
  listing dates.As an aside I found amiquote very good to use, provided 
  you read the yahoogroup messages to determine the settings for download 
  data request delaysetc.Now if someone could direct me to a site 
  for pre-1981 ASX data, and one with3 decimal places I would be most 
  grateful.Cheers,Graham<A
