Title: Re: [amibroker] Importing Canadian stocks
Al,

What I meant was to choose the Historical Quotes button in Yahoo and see how much history is available there. That’s where Amiquote gets it’s data. If it’s there, then we can ask Tomasz what’s up. If not, then we ask Yahoo.

Give me a couple of symbols and I’ll see what I get.

Terry: Not sure I understand your last sentence, but I can go to the Yahoo finance site, search on a particular Canadian symbol that I'm trying to import, and see at least a 5-year chart. Don't know why I can't import more than 11 months of historical data from Yahoo.

Should get you all the history. Shouldn’t matter where you store it. I get 25+ years on U.S. Stocks. Is there more history via Yahoo website and historical quotes?

Hi, all:
 
Having always been a QP3 plugin user, I have never needed to use Amiquote since first owning AB. But recently, I became interested in some Canadian stocks that I cannot get using QP3. So, after creating a .tls file, I tried importing 10 years of historical data for a list of tickers traded on the TSE. However, I only got 11 months of data imported rather than 10 years. I followed the help file exactly, and I know that many of the symbols go back more than 11 months. So, what am I doing wrong? I noticed that the symbols appear in my QP3 database. Is this correct, or should they be stored in the AB local database? Does it matter where they are stored? I'm importing from Yahoo. Thanks for any help anyone can give.
