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

["NW Trader" <ta4charts@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bob,

 

If you need assistance with the TC2005, perhaps I can help as I've been using it along with QP for several years (belt and suspenders guy that I am).  Dan also used it for some time, but quit to go to QP -- I believe the artificial sector arrangement of the Wordens and other issues may have been the reasons.  He posted some evaluation and comparison stuff about both data vendors several months back. 

 

Thanks for the clue about the data retrieval check boxes.  I'm at a loss to explain why it would not retrieve those stale tickers.  I quickly wrote an AA today to detect unchanging closes and posted it a bit ago.  It does select the problem tickers.  FWIW, it didn't find anything in TC2005 when set to 20 or 10 days base period.  EZ-Cleanup found 44 stocks to delete in the TC2005 database in AB.

 

Peace and Justice   ---   Patrick

Dan & Patrick,

Because recent discussions centered on retrieving everything for subsequent processing, I unchecked both boxes for my retrieval tests

 

I can now confirm that retrieval with both boxes checked loads the bad tickers—sounds like something only TJ could explain J

 

Further, the failure to load stocks in the unchecked instance was apparent from the progress bar once I looked.

The above observations were with on a Win2k box running 4.73.0.

Found the same on a XP-Pro box that was still at 4.72.1

 

I can’t pursue this further since I’m trying to get my TC2005 DB in order before QP lapses on the 28^th.

 

Bob

Bob,

 

I wish I could agree with you.  I got the same results as Patrick.

 

I deleted the symbols below and then retrieved Common Stocks, Indices and Sector/Industry groups from QP.  The bad tickers reappeared.  The problem is that the DO have quotes, but the quotes are stale.

 

I ran a scan to find all symbols whose prices have not changed in the last year.   I got the tickers below.

 

Regards,

 

Dan.
