I currently use the EOD data from Sanfords.  After their email arrives I switch AB database back to local and then ACSII import the EOD update from Sanfords.  This effectively overwrites anything that QT has put in my database for that day.

I do plan to buy a history CD and EOD subs from Cooltrader when I get time to decide if 7.30 or 10.30 will do me and then to organise it :-).

Do you have any comments on Cooltrader data?
