Hi,
May I know where could I get the Equity Index data? For example, I would like to get
Dow Jones Industrial Average, I could get it from IB but I can not get it from free quote. For SP500 index, I could not get SP500 index from IB, and I could not get it from Free Quote.
I try to use SPY ETF to simulate SP500.
May I know if there is a third party who provide global equity index? For example, DJ30,SP500,SP100,NK225,HK,FTSE,DAX,CAC40 and so on.
Thanks for your valuable information.
Charles

Re: Equity Index data
Hello Charles,
If you can not get certain instrument data from Interactive brokers-check out the Event log in File->New->QuoteManager window for messages like "No market data permission".
With FreeQuotes you can get data only for the symbols that have the option Historical prices->Download to Spreadsheet on their webpage.May I know if there is a third party who provide global equity index?

Re: Equity Index data
Thanks for your information. Please see the following hyperlink, I could download both
SP500 and DOW historical data.
S&P 500 (^GSPC)
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=%5EGSPC ... cal+Prices
Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI)
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=%5EDJI+ ... cal+Prices
However, while request from MultiCharts, I could only see ^GSPC and I can not see ^DJI.
Is there any solution to see ^DJI from free quote? Thanks.

Re: Equity Index data
There is no "Download to Spreadsheet" option on DJI page. That means you cannot get this data directly from Free Quotes in MultiCharts.
You can manually save the price values from DJI page and then import into MultiCharts: Importing ASCII data.

At this time, Dow Jones Industrial Average [^DJI] data can only be viewed on web screen.

ctu1121:
You don't specify what time frame you are looking for in your historical data, so I will assume end-of day.
Two good vendors:
Pinnacle Data Corporation - futures, cash markets, and COT data
http://www.pinnacledata.com/
Norgate Investor Services / Premium Data - futures, cash markets, and foreign markets
http://www.premiumdata.net/
I use both. Good trading!
