Thank you all for your comments.
I have been swing trading for about 25 years using EOD data, the past
8 years or so, online. I have used paid EOD data in the past with
TC2000 and other programs before using Amibroker and my profitability
has not changed with free EOD from Yahoo into AB.
I see no reason to fork out $ 3-400 per year when Yahoo EOD works for
me.
If anyone can suggest how to easily classify my Yahoo tickers (or the
whole US stock market)into sectors/industries etc...I would be
grateful.
Thanks
