It's been a long time since I used EOD data, but I collected DialData
till about a month ago..... After a while, I said why bother any
more! I also had BMI Satellite at the same time!
Any way... to the point....
Don't nickel & dime your data feed, The cost is not as important as
the connection, and ease of use is! Trust me, you would rather spend
your time on other things rather than trying to fit some "square-peg"
data into a "round hole" format, simply to save a few bucks! You need
to put a value on your time, and that is something only you can do!
I had it set up, so that my Omega Downloader would go out over the
Internet at the same time every day, and retrieve what it was supposed
to get, AUTOMATICALLY!!
Yes, Occasionally I noticed bad ticks, but I can't say for sure I
would have had any less problems with any other data supplier?
I'm simply saying that this was a no-brainer, that's all! And yes, I
guess I could have saved 3 or 4 bucks a month by using another
service, but WHY? To me the ease & simplification of the DialData was
worth it..... Hope that helps you out a little.... Good Luck!!
