Re: [amibroker] Yahoo Current Backfill , many N/A on active stocks, AmiBroker Email List Archive

2008/5/6 David Fitch <davidfitch@xxxxxxxxxxx>:

I have noticed last few weeks a growing number of tickers that don't download in yahoo current and need to be downloaded in yahoo historic. For example, out of 645 ETFs, 150 or so will not download in yahoo current after the market has been open one hour this morning. Some of these are low volume, infrequently traded tickers. But in past this was only a handleful, maybe 10-20 or so. Now, tt seems to be tickers that trade up to a few thousand, but they are trading and just not being reported. They will report EOD, Yahoo Historic later.

I'm sure it will change again. That's Yahoo.

It sounds like you are attempting to download from the Yahoo Current (Daily) server after it has been reset for the next day (reset time might not be constant). If so, you have to use historical data which in your case (late at night) will always work.

Lately I'm getting large numbers of symbols coming up N/A on the
Daily update (done late at night).

The data is present in the historical download.

Does Yahoo just stink?
