||Betreff: Alternative data supplier
||
||I've been collecting end of day data for about 70 futures from
Genesis.
||As well as the individual contracts for each market, they do a
||continuous contract which is calculated and adjusted automatically,
||ideal for backtesting. When you download an update, the new data is
||automatically appended to the old, contracts expired and all the
||housekeeping taken care of. It can save the data in several formats
||including MetaStock and CSI (which is the main one I use). The data is
||selected in TS from a "3rd Party Directory" so you don't have to go
||through the Global Server which reduces the number of markets you have
||to scroll through.
||
||However, they reckon that the program/system I've been using for
||downloading, NavWin, is coming to the end of its life and they say
they
||will be unable to support it as the server manufacturers no longer
make
||or support the hardware.
||
||Anyway, it's already proving flaky. However, they want a one-off fee
of
||$250 to upgrade to new software. I already paid $395 for NavWin,
||admittedly some years ago, but I never used the program's charting
||facilities and I won't use those of the new software so I am reluctant
||to pay this on top of the $45/monthly cart for the data.
||
||So, can anyone recommend another data supplier who offers a similar
||service but without such a loaded front-end?
||
||Ian
