Anthony,
Downloading daily data from yahoo is bad enough, But Historical data for
8000 symbols with a modem? Your going to cause yourself more pain than it's
worth.
Just go buy a CD for your historical data. Usualy only between $50-$100 and
has much greater precision (Decimal places). Couple of days in the post is
all it takes.
Heck, If your actualy going to be trading - $50-$100 is peanuts eh?
