Re: Dow Jones News Retrieval

I stopped using Dow Jones for stocks and commodities a couple of years ago.
They did not have
accurate opens on historical stock data.  Seems like they used the close for
the open, or similar.
That's no good for candlesticks.  Or a bunch of other trading techniques.  I
used Dial Data for awhile, now
use Prophet Data, with Equis Downloader.  Prophet is cheaper and faster.
Although a couple of problems
along the way, a good value for my needs.
