The Yahoo downloads quicktest method (you never know with Yahoo if what you see is what you will get):
- Open AQ
- uncheck AutoImport to AB (AQ -> AB is now disconnected).
- copy paste new symbol from Yahoo website e.g.QQQRJ.X
- select YahooHistorical and download ... AQ tells you there is an error with historical for that symbol
- select YahooCurrent and download ... AQ tells you data was successfully download (look in AB>>AQ>>downloads folder and you will find an ASCII file with one value in it for QQQRJ.X ... you need to change the file extension to read it in text reader)
- because auto import was unchecked AB does not attempt to ASCII import this current data point for that symbol.
End of story :-)
