Aha, I thought Jim was doing this for free.  But in any case, how does AB determine which stocks are current and should be on the list?  Yahoo has almost 40,000 tickers; who determines which ones go into the US STOCK SYMBOL list?


Thanks

This origional post was an inquiry asking when Jim Swindle would place a LATER than >JAN/4/2008 UPDATED LIST OF US STOCK SYMBOLS on his UPDATE website.
 
Jim was paid to create this updating UPDATING software, so he is not at liberty to simply give it away to Amibroker users.
 
Yes, I would love to help JIM, but I can't think of anything I can do to assist writing code FOR a NEW version of this updating software.  
I do recall that Dingo and Jim discussed the possibility of a Joint effort once, BUT I DON'T THINK IT WENT ANYWHERE.
 
 
HERE IS MORE INFORMATION>>Jim Swindle's  US STOCKS DATABASE UPDATE SITE  is simply an updated  list of the
most recent SYMBOLS  in the US STOCKS FOLDER within Amibroker.
When you run a download from this site, it installs the MORE RECENT list of the symbols over the OLDER  list of symbols.  
This process of UPDATING  the symbols must be followed by a HISTORICAL download of all of the TICKER data for as far back as you want to have in your database.

Perhaps we should try to help Jim out a bit.  What features would we want to see in such a stocks database?
 
Thanks

Has anyone heard from Jim regarding when a later update will be available?
 
This link to Jim Swindle's US STOCKS DATABASE  site shows that it was last udated on Jan 4, 2008.
 
I also recall that Jim was planning to create a method so that each of us could run a LATEST TICKER symbol update an any time. 
 
We all are grateful  to Jim for having done this.   Ron D
