WM> Presently I get individual stock end of day prices from Yahoo.com. These include Open, High, Low, Last & Volume.
WM> I would like to get Advances, Declines for the New York and Nasdaq exchanges. Also Highs & Lows for both exchanges. If someone could give the symbols for these if known I would appreciate it.
WM> Additionally if symbols for the commodity future of the S&P 500 & US Treasury Bonds.
WM> Other free sources if known and given would be appreciated too.
WM> Those interested may find it helpful to buy Dcenter software which I use for downloading the data I am getting now. This is an initial cost only and there after no more costs. The one

DataSharks.biz has a better program for getting free data. It will
download stocks, and futures. For what it is worth the data on Yahoo
is typically provided by CSI, and the futures data is from
FuturesSource.
They also offer a free Real Time feed for the S&P
