[amibroker] Re: Downloading yahoo eod data using Amiquote-How to go about it-please help

I download data from Yahoo! using AmiQuote - a program available
here:

http://www.amibroker.com/download.html#amiquote

AQ is a separate program.  You supply AQ with a list of tickers you wish to download along with the time period - for example the last 5 years of data.  

AQ processes the data in 2 steps, one is downloading the data and then converting it into AmiBroker internal format.

Yahoo! has two quote servers one for historical data which downloads one stock at a time, and a second which downloads just the most recent days OHLCV but hundreds of stocks at a time.  Use the historical server to establish the data base, then use the Current server to update the database each day.  If you forget to download, go back to the historical server to fill in the gap.
