Re: [amibroker] Amiquote Import does not import a few symbols

Hello,

That's interesting - I just tried to download now and the date format is still DD-MMM-YY  !
You should really double check this because it does not look as there was ANY change in the format of Yahoo Historical.

Example MSFT:
$NAME MSFT
18-Jan-07,31.15,31.37,30.80,31.00,56364300,31.00
17-Jan-07,31.26,31.44,31.01,31.10,58519600,31.10
16-Jan-07,31.26,31.45,31.03,31.16,62379600,31.16
12-Jan-07,30.65,31.39,30.64,31.21,103972496,31.21
11-Jan-07,29.76,30.75,29.65,30.70,99464304,30.70
10-Jan-07,29.80,29.89,29.43,29.66,55017400,29.66
9-Jan-07,30.00,30.18,29.73,29.96,44636600,29.96
8-Jan-07,29.65,30.10,29.53,29.93,50220200,29.93
5-Jan-07,29.63,29.75,29.45,29.64,44607200,29.64
4-Jan-07,29.70,29.97,29.44,29.81,45774500,29.81

  I had a problem with Amiquote tonight.  Yahoo have changed the date format from dd-mm-yy to yy-mm-dd.  Changing the *.AQH format file in c:\program files\amibroker\formats fixed the problem..

    Using Amiquote 1.92, Amibroker 4.89, i do a historical download of 3000
    symbols with "Automatic Import" unchecked. Then i do "Tools->Import
    into Amibroker". When I do this I notice that a few symbols are not
    imported, but the vast majority of symbols are imported fine. When I
    redownload the data for those few symbols using Amiquote and then
    do "Tools->Import into Amibroker" for the second time, they are
    imported correctly. To identify which symbols had not been imported, I
    used filter=1 and "N last days, n=1" in AA settings, did an exploration
    then sorted by date to see which symbols did not have today's date.
    Because only a few symbols are not imported, I guess this is something
    that normally wouldn't be noticed by the user, unless youre updating a
    large database (thousands of symbols) and really analyse the data to
    see what has been imported and what hasnt.
