sectors/industries ?"
d
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
