Thanks for enlightenment...This is all new to me.
Do you know if this happens with other indexes?
Thanks

Dick:
One has to be careful when comparing DJIA data
because data suppliers supply the index either as theoretical or actual.
The two differ in the reported H and L. Theoretical data averages H and
L for the components at the EOD. The actual averages H and L for the
components in near RT and then takes the highest and lowest values at
EOD. Data prior to 1992 is all theoretical because tick data was not
available.

FWIW, yahoo ^DJI data is a mess. Yesterday I
noticed a big difference in an indicator and a published indicator for ^DJI.
( John Murphy daily update). Indicator was ADX. After pulling
out what hair I've got, and with help of a friend, the problem finally
became clear. High , low data for ^DJI is wrong. Open and Close appeared
okay. Even after doing historical update.
Be careful if you use indexes from
yahoo.

That does not appear to be the problem. I
changed the default directory but it made no difference.
Finally checked some other symbols and they
seem to be normal.
Just the ^DJI stops at 11/23/05 and will not
update.
Thanks for the effort.

Could your default database folder be
wrong? Sorry for jumping into the middle of this...don't have the
initial thread for problem. But if AQ is loading your data into AB
in wrong folder or non default folder, you need to switch.

data.
Dick,
I haven't looked at this for years now,
and I am just heading out for
a two-day trip, so can't really
look into it now, but I think the
answer must lie in the
importing of data from the Amiquote download
folder into
AmiBroker. First thing to check would be the
directory,
AmiBroker\Amiquote\Download\. It probably will contain
all the data
files from the download. If so, study the help file
on how to imort
data from there. Also, check into what is needed
in settings so that
Amiquote will automatically import the data
to AmiBroker next time.
Sorry I can't give you more
help.
Bill
