QuoteDownloader

Recommended Posts

The EOD trading platforms require that the data be downloaded to a folder for the platform to import it and I found that one of the more flexible FREE data download programs is QuoteDownloader. I can format the data in both CSV, MetaStock and other formats. However, it has an expiration after a limited use time. It would benefit us members who use EOD data if someone would find a way to remove that limitation.

If anyone else knows of any other free data downloader for both CSV or MetaStock formats, please reply.

Thanks for your reply,

 

I must have used the wrong keywords in my original search of this forum, because I didn't see any results for QuoteDownloader. I know you are trying to help, but I don't see anything on the page 16 of the discussion link you gave me. Possibly I may have missed it. Could you give me the permalink to the specific comment that has the link for a data downloader?

Sixter,

 

I get a virus notification; so I scanned the file and DDEChartUpdater.exe and Keygen.exe show up with problems. Is this a virus or is my virus protection being over protective?

the RTQ downloader? yes works, but it seems i can't download historical data with it, or?

 

I don't think there's any Yahoo/Google quote downloader that retrieves historical data. If you find one, please let us in the forum know about it. If you miss a day, you can't get the data through these downloaders. I think Yahoo lets you manually down load data from its website.

 

The RTQ downloader downloads current intraday delayed Yahoo quotes only with no intraday historical data; while the ML downloader downloads EOD historical data only. If you want RTQ downloader to download real time data, you need to subscribe to Yahoo Real Time data.

 

Yahoo Groups has a forum that discusses Yahoo real time data using ManshiRT. ManshiRT · Manshi Real Time Data Feed http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/ManshiRT/ This might be another posibility for you. I'm not familiar with ManshiRT and I don't know if this forum has an educated version of it.

I tried that a while ago, but I think he's asking about backfilling intraday data. I think its also called IEOD.

isn't Hyperserver the right combined tool? (probably not free / cracked)

 

Why not try the FREE Hyperserver Lite and let us know how you like it?
