Dick:
One has to be careful when comparing DJIA data because
data suppliers supply the index either as theoretical or actual. The two
differ in the reported H and L. Theoretical data averages H and L for the
components at the EOD. The actual averages H and L for the components in
near RT and then takes the highest and lowest values at EOD. Data prior to
1992 is all theoretical because tick data was not
available.

FWIW, yahoo ^DJI data is a mess. Yesterday I
noticed a big difference in an indicator and a published indicator for ^DJI. (
John Murphy daily update). Indicator was ADX. After pulling out
what hair I've got, and with help of a friend, the problem finally became
clear. High , low data for ^DJI is wrong. Open and Close appeared okay. Even
after doing historical update.
Be careful if you use indexes from
yahoo.

That does not appear to be the problem. I
changed the default directory but it made no difference.
Finally checked some other symbols and they
seem to be normal.
Just the ^DJI stops at 11/23/05 and will not
update.
Thanks for the effort.

Could your default database folder be wrong?
Sorry for jumping into the middle of this...don't have the initial thread
for problem. But if AQ is loading your data into AB in wrong folder
or non default folder, you need to switch.

Dick,
I haven't looked at this for years now, and
I am just heading out for
a two-day trip, so can't really look into
it now, but I think the
answer must lie in the importing of data
from the Amiquote download
folder into AmiBroker. First thing to
check would be the directory,
AmiBroker\Amiquote\Download\. It
probably will contain all the data
files from the download. If so,
study the help file on how to imort
data from there. Also, check
into what is needed in settings so that
Amiquote will automatically
import the data to AmiBroker next time.
Sorry I can't give you more
help.
Bill
