Re: [amibroker] Re: New Yahoo US-Stocks Database

["Ronald Davis" <xokie7@xxxxxxxxx>]

I  think it depends on what your indicators are computing.  I have seen many posts in the past which imply that people such as myself who only use Yahoo EOD are asking for problems.   My indicators compute many averages of the last 100, 200, and sometimes the last 300 days of data.  These indicators are looking for the core consensus of what is happening with a particular symbol.

 

Therefore, in my case, any errors that may exist have essentially ZERO effect on these massive number of averages.

 

If your indicators look at only the last 10 to 20 days, and do very little averaging, then errors that may exist in the data could have an effect. 

 

Also, I totally ignore volume and use ossillating indicators that are derived only from price action.   Ron D

Hi Jim,

Thanks for creating this file. I am considering trying out Yahoo as
an EOD data provider. Before I do take the time to setup AB with a
new database, what are the pro's and con's of using Yahoo?

Do you get what you pay for? Free - so it means you have a lot of
database maintenance, etc.

Dave
