Re: How to use data from Omega site?



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

You should only use the Downloader to obtain DAILY data from an end-of-day
data service such as Dial/Data, Telescan, Dow Jones, etc. If you are an
"end-of-day" trader then you should subscribe to 1 of these services.

If you have SuperCharts RT or TradeStation, then you can make use of the
INTRADAY/TICK files on Omega's website. This data is useful mainly for
intraday traders.

Also, the data on Omega's website is not exactly high-quality stuff, but
considering there is no other source, we put up with it.

But to make use of the data from Omega, it has to be "pasted" into the
"Server".
This data now has the *.omz format.

Hope I didn't get anyone further confused.
