Duke,
I do not download prices from Yahoo, just from Quotes Plus. I do, however,
download the Yahoo Basic Fundamental data and the Yahoo Extra Fundamental
data. Since these do not change very much, I only do the Yahoo stuff once a
week on Saturday. Here is the way you must have your database set up for
this to work. In Database settings have the Quotes Plus plugin enabled.
This gets your prices. Also next to Local Database check enabled. This is
what allows AmiBroker to save the Fundamental data from Yahoo. Since this
information goes into a different part of AmiBroker's fields, it does not
over write any of your Quotes Plus data. Thus you now have the best of both
worlds.
Hope this explanation makes sense. If you have any other questions feel free
to ask.
Enjoy,
Don Lindberg

Don,
Are you downloading and updating prices from Yahoo as well? I was
curious about trying this with the Yahoo fundamental data into the QP
database but I ran into the issue that when I tried to maintain
longer price histories than what was available from QP by selecting
local db setting the updates stopped from the QP API. When converted
back to QP as the data source the the shorter period QP data streams
were restored and the previous data lost. I thought the same thing
would happen with the fundamental data but perhaps I do not have the
correct settings to maintain both in the same db.
Regards,
Duke Jones, CMT
