Re: [amibroker] Status of Norgate Premium Data for Amibroker, AmiBroker Email List Archive

Hi Ton --

Thanks for asking about Advanced AmiBroker.

I am deep in preparation for my speeches at the Australian Technical Analysts Association meeting in Melbourne in October. That will be followed by five days of workshops I'll be presenting, also in Melbourne. To avoid any unnecessary stress on myself, as well as having customers disappointed that I missed a deadline, I have not committed to a deadline. But, if things stay reasonably on schedule, the book will go to the printer sometime around the first of the year and be available two or three months after that.

More information about the ATAA Conference can be found at this site:

And more information about my workshops at this site:

Thanks,
Howard

Greetings --

The chapter of my book, Introduction to AmiBroker, that describes installation of databases includes a section on installing Norgate Premium Data. That chapter is a free download at the book's website:
http://www.introductiontoamibroker.com/book.html
Scroll down a little and click the "installation" link. You will be getting a 1.7MB pdf file.
I use Norgate Premium Data for End of Day data, and like it.

I have written a paper, "Use of Fundamental Data in Active Investing" that has a section about the GICS codes. You can download that paper, free, from this web page:
http://www.introductiontoamibroker.com/activities.html
It is the second entry in the "Writing" section.

Thanks,
Howard

I have used Norgate Premiumdata for a number of years and it is very good. Certainly no complaints from me.
They have full explanations of what to do on their website for using the data with AB.
If you do not understand the instructions then their support would be able to help you

No idea what the issue is!

When they do, it will be even better than what they currently offer, which is already superb.

This is what Tomasz said in the release notes for 5.28:

"As far as I know PremiumData http://www.premiumdata.net/ is planning to release AmiBroker-compatible database with GICS support."

What does that mean?

So you guys are saying.... you just initiate a download, and the data is stored in the Amibroker database.... no other conversion is needed? Is that what you are saying?

Hi Kevin,

Norgate is very much around and runnig. I have been using their data for about four years and find the quality and reliability excellent. You get a little utility to click on from your desktop to do the updates which is a one click affair - very easy. I get the Australian market data of about 2,000 equities and this takes about 2 minutes to download each night. They supply USA data including futures and currencies and some other International bourses data. The updates, splits, new listings are all done automatically, normally during the weekend. Norgate data is imported natively into AmiBroker using the Metastock plug-in. Even better, Norgate automatically creates and maintains your GICS databases for US and Australian stocks and this goes down to sub-industry group levels with the release of AmiBroker 5.8.xx beta.

As Richard Dale of Norgate once stated: we have to maintain the absolute best quality data as this is the only business we are in.

I have no connection or pecuniary interests with Norgate - just a very satisfied customer.

Cheers,

Gordon Sutherland
