[amibroker] DOWNLOADING DAILY EOD DATA



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

Dear Prashanth,

Today at 6 pm when I downloaded from Yahoo Current for today's EOD data, I  
got end-of-bar data, so the figures I got for open, high, low & close were  
the same. I did not get end-of-day data.

Kindly try to suggest some other working method.

Thanks,

vinay

Dear Prashanth,

When I download current day's data during the day, I get OHLC for the
current bar, not for the full day.

Are you saying that if I download at end of each day, I will get full
day's data?

Thanks,

Vinay
