For 1) Can I copy and paste from Excel to make a ticker list like
that? Otherwise, how is it done? What extension do I save it as?
Would Microsoft Word work for this? Otherwise I have Notepad and
Wordpad.
For 3) Will Yahoo or MSN through Amiquote have a feature to get all
of the price/volume history rather than just getting the last two
years worth? Will it matter that XYZW has been trading for 1.5
years and ABCD has been trading for 7 years?
For 4) it sounds like you are saying that Amibroker will not
automatically deal with ticker symbol changes, new listings, and
delistings. I should do this on my own. Is that correct?
Thanks in advance,
Jim
