I have had both TC2005 and QP

I would say QP has their data base set up better as far as Sectors than TC2005 does

 

Both data sources though are on the clean side

 

You get what you pay for when it comes to data

Hi Jim, 

 

While this may seem antithetical to your present practice (and desire for "free" data), I'd suggest a subscription to either Quotes Plus or TC2005.  They will maintain your database for you with pretty clean reliable data, keep stocks organized in industries/sectors/exchanges, handle symbol changes, splits, etc. transparently.  At about the cost of a round trip or so, it's well worth the price versus the time, bother and aggravation entailed in managing 3500 stocks on your own.  To my way of thinking, that's hardly free.  Now if you were only worried about tracking say 100 or so, then perhaps it wouldn't be such a chore.

 

Or you could try the free trials from one of these, use their organization on your data base and then be done with them.  I'd think that once you started using one of them, you'd appreciate the time and effort it saves you and subscribe.  FWIW, I have subscriptions to both, get nothing from suggesting them to you (unless you want to mention my name to QP, then I might get a free month), but have relied on both for years (each has their good and bad aspects, if you look back at posts from last Fall, Dan Clark had a very good summary of them).

Subject: [amibroker] Need to fix Database - recommendations wanted

 

Hello,

I have about 3500 US symbols in my AB Yahoo EOD database. I wish to
continue to use Yahoo EOD but my tickers are not all classified by
sector and industry.

Can anyone recommend a way to accomplish this? Is there an up to date
file I could download  (I don't mind if it's 8,000 + stocks).

Thanks in advance.
