[amibroker] Re: How to download multiple tickers

Sorry, 

An incorrect assumption on my part.
I don't know anything about DTN.
Usually the tickers are the same except for indices.

Someone else can probably help with DTN - apologies for wasting your

Yes, Yahoo definitely works - simple import and also with the setup 
methods I use there.

A lot of people don't like Yahoo data though.
I use it for backtesting but not live.
