Hi Pete. Although MLDownloader for me is a nice
download program,
I have some practical remarks. Most items can be
downloaded with
AmiQuote from Yahoo, MSN etc. In case you will not
find the data on these
sources, my experience with MLDownloader is that
you will not get the
data with this program either. The problem is
that to find a source is only
one side of the medal. To get the data from a Page
is the other side.
You therefore need to write a very simple
definition script that instructs the
program ( Parser ) how to get the data from
the Page. You cannot do this
with AmiQuote and you cannot do this with
MLDownloader either ...
This is the reason why I am using a program called
StockBrowser. Already
for many ( 12 ) years and without any serious
problems. In case I find a Page
somewhere that has important data for me and that
is not coming from Yahoo,
MSN etc. etc. , all
I do is writing the Source and Definition file
for Stockbrowser
and let the program automatically download
the data during the night with the
StockBrowser scheduler. Of course the program is not cheap ...
IT'S FOR FREE ...
You can find it in Holland on many WebSites like
:
I hope to see the same functionality in AmiQuote
somewhere, somehow,
some day in the
near future. Just because I prefer 'all in one' applications ...
Regards, Ton.
BTW : StockBrowser can export in whatever
file format you define or you
can even work with the by StockBrowser supported DDE communication.
It's
a pity that AmiBroker doesn't let StockBrowser
send her the data by DDE but
also this can be done in a different way
...

Subject: [amibroker] Re: Data
Downloaders
I too use MLDOWNLOADER. Great product.
This weekend I posted an
empty Amibroker Database file to this group
that was created from the
MLDownloader files (.MLD). It was quite
simple to do because MLDownloader
has 1 file for each
market/group/sector etc... that you want to look
at. I took the
standard MLD files (plus a few of my own), converted them
into CSV
files and used a JScript to update the Amibroker
DB.
NLDownloader = Very usefull tool.
the only thing it lacks,
is that it doesn't downloader fundamental
data which is where AmiQuote
comes in very usefull.
Regards,
Pete
