[amibroker] Re: Some Yahoo tickers fail to download data

["Richard" <richpach2@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Richard,

I tried MSN and found that, the data for ASX is a complete rubbish.
It may be better for US stocks.
One can get most of the tickers but they are so wrong comparing Reuters or ASX.com.au that it renders it useless. Historical is only available in 3 years blocks. If you try more it will revert to weekly bars loaded into your daily database.

Regards
Richard

You can update such stocks daily using "current" instead if EOD. To get historical try MSN and/or Google.  They have historical data in many instances so download accordingly and then update daily with Yahoo current. MSM dosn't have as many stocks available as Yahoo.  I hope this helps.
