This has been discussed many times. Check the
forum's archives. If you still have questions contact me. As a long
time user of Yahoo data I might be able to fill in the
blanks.

Questions re: yahoo data
Hi -
Like wise, I am a "newbee" to all this. I had no
intentions of becoming a programer, but I do like Amibroker. While I'm
learning (and losing money <kidding>), I am using yahoo EOD data during
my learning process. It appears to agree with my Scottrade Account
(although I haven't done any investigation into the accuracy). I have no
desire to use RT data - EOD is fine for my uses.
Could
someone expand or provide more information with regard to the statement
below of "yahoo EOD data being inaccurate"? That worries me a
little since I'm investing my hard earned $$$$ using
it. Thanks in advance for any insite/information you
might provide.
As to when EOD data can be downloaded, I generally
d/l it between 6 and 7 pm ET. If "historical" d/l doesn't pick it up,
"current day" will.

Hi Jchi --
High quality, low cost end-of-day data is available
from several vendors. Two I recommend (I subscribe to them both)
are:
Quotes Plus -- http://qp2.com/joomla/index.php
Norgate
Premium Data -- http://www.premiumdata.net/
Read
the reference materials related to BuyPrice, SellPrice, and
TradeDelays. They work in combination.
The pair of
statements
BuyPrice = Open;
SetTradeDelays(0,x,x,x);
uses the
price of the open of the bar being processed.
The pair of
statements
BuyPrice = Open;
SetTradeDelays(1,x,x,x);
uses the
price of the open of the bar following the bar being
processed.
Thanks,
Howard

1. When is the earliest I can download EOD data from Yahoo? i.e., when
will today's data be available for download?
2. In the trades tab
when performing automatic analysis, what does buy price mean if I set it
to open? i.e., I perform a scan of my trading system and it says that a
buy signal was found for 2/26/10. When it is set to buy at the open price,
will amibroker get the open price of 2/26 or 2/27?
3. What is the
best but reasonably priced way of getting accurate EOD data into
amibroker? I understand that Yahoo is inaccurate.
Feel free to
contact me at inbox.chi@xxxxxxcom. THanks.
