Needs Fibonacci Trader version 3.14 or later.
The site http://www.downloadquotes.com
has free index data and inexpensive end of day data for many different countries.
To use their data you will need to first subscribe to their service.
On the main page click on the MyList button, on this page you can
create lists to download data.
There is a limit of 1Mbyte of data for download at a time, then our
suggestion is create a main list with all the symbols you want, (be careful
to always select the exchange for the symbols, as they have many
countries there are duplicate symbols with different prices,
like INTC). You will use this list to download the most recent data,
today or current week.
To get the data for the first time for a symbol, create a list that
you will use to download ,example 4 year of data, insert new symbols
that you want and delete symbols that you already got the long
historic data. This list will be always short, 4 years of data for 10
symbols is around 0.6Mbytes, do not forget you are limited to 1Mbyte
files.
After your list on the screen is the Download Now button, click to go to
the Download page.
On the download page select the period you want to download, if
downloading your main list select TODAY or current week, if
downloading your long historic data list select the start date and end
date to download.
Keep the format as STANDARD ASCII FILE, do not change any option in
there.
Click the Download Now button and save the downloaded file in to the C:\FTGT\DOWNLOADQUOTES.COM
folder, make sure the extension of the saved file is .ASC. This
special folder will be used just for in data from downloadquotes.com.
