[amibroker] DOWNLOADING DAILY EOD DATA



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

Dear Bill,

Thanks for your advise.

But this does not cover my need. I prepare my daily strategy on the basis  
of data uptil last working day, so I can run my daily exploration only  
after last working day's data has been downloaded.

Is there any similarly faster method for downloading daily EOD data?

Thanks,

gakkhar
