Dear Bill,
Sorry for my wrong selection of words.
I want to say that I need EOD data daily for formulating my daily strategy.
And I want to say that it takes me 2 hours (not 5 minutes) every day for
the 1,000 NSE India stocks.
In fact today it took me 3 hours.
Is there a faster method of downloading daily EOD data direct into
Amibroker from Yahoo Finance?
Thank you,
gakkhar
