Re: [amibroker] 47 Missing QuotesPlus Index Symbols and Auditing QP Data

Hi Bob,
 
Wish I had your database.  I just tried again (Downloaded QP files, Retrieved to AB with 1.51 DLL, the boxes for "Retrieve only active symbols" and Exclude symbols without quotes" are both checked) and like a B rated horror flick, "They're back".  Essentially every symbol after !ZOC in the Markets-Undefined category is a bad one.  Sigh.  This was a "new" QP database for AB I created yesterday.  I wonder if I need to reinstall QP again, or ask for a new data disk, mine is years old (maintained and backed up constantly).  Are you saying that you no longer retrieve those tickers in the LC02K thru LF9ZK series?  Or did I misunderstand you?
 
You got my hopes up and I was about to email thanks to Gary.  It's 'only' about 100 bad symbols, but I'm starting to get annoyed at them and myself.  I don't need them, but can't seem to just ignore them either.

Patrick,

Looks like Gary purged that series of tickers.

I deleted them before retrieval and they didn’t reappear.

Hi Dan,

 

All symbols may have quotes, but they aren't necessarily good.  And the EZ-Cleanup script doesn't pick up everything unfortunately.  See if you have a whole series of bad tickers (under the Market-- Undefined listing) starting with LC02K thru LF9ZK.  There are others too like CYX K and  NBI K and some I don't recall just off the top of my head.  I just downloaded the latest from QP, retrieved to AB (using latest dll)  and ran EZ-Cleanup (got 1 ticker to delete), however the symbols I just referenced are present and 'dead' (unchanging OHLC values and 0 volume for years) .  As you are in touch with Gary, perhaps you can get him to delete these as well (or set their issue status to 1)?  Presently I delete them manually, and just don't bother with the others that are scattered around.  

 

Still and all, it is progress so I am thankful for your efforts and pleased that Gary is working on it.  The last response I got from QP was so unconcerned (and discouraging), I resolved to stop wasting time on it.  But then, I'm only a trader, not a DataBase Guru <VBG>.  Thanks again, and thank Gary too.

 

Peace and Justice   ---   Patrick
