Dan,
Thank you for your quick answer, I see from your experience that is not
esay to find as so "simple" service of good quality. I search the internet since one
week,
I found the service approach of prophet (www.prophetdata.com) quite straighforward
and
relatively cheap (19.95$/month for e-mailed EOD NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX ( stock quotes
in ASCII format ). They also provide historical data on CD-ROMs, but I don't think
the provide
quotes Toronto, Vancouver, and Alberta Stock exchanges.
Cautiously, I am waiting to ear (bad or good) experience from other users, before
subscribing
anywhere. But I don't think the provide quotes Toronto, Vancouver, and Alberta Stock
exchanges.
I will keep you inform of my research.
Maybe we and others from the list could settle a sort of end of day quotes providers
FAQ
describing the service provided, price, user quality rating to help other new
traders...
avoid to lose their time in searching and searching ...
This FAQ could then be updated with new service and experience.
Kind regards,
Jérôme
