Subject: [amibroker] The low down on Yahoo . . . and
on AmiQuote (Tomasz)?

With respect to historical quotes,
you can figure out what it going on by monitoring Yahoo's historical quote
page. By doing this you will then see when they are available and can
adjust your schedule accordingly. This is usually about 5-6 hours after
the market closes. Current quotes are delayed by 20 minutes and are more
error prone because the data is not being cleaned up for bad
tics.
