Marek,
I'm trying to decipher enough Polish to see if it's realistic for me
to use that site (I'm in the U.S.). Actually the daily email with
"all" stocks rather than downloading doesn't seem like a bad model to
use.
Bret,
I'll be interested in your experiences with TC2000 to see if the CD
can be eliminated. I was always under the impression they (Worden)
were just interested in selling their software and didn't know you
could just use them for a data feed (the only software I'm interested
in learning/using is AB).
Meanwhile, I'm going through the archives reading past information
about EOD sources. Not surprisingly, the issue has come up at pretty
regular intervals. But from what I've seen so far, there has never
been a consensus on the "best" source.
