Hi,
I have been using Mulitcharts for more than half a year, which I spent all my time in intraday data / trading. I am using B as a data feed. Well, I have sent the following questions to TS suport which is obviously very busy. I hear no reply after waiting for weeks..... Could anyone help me?
Now I would like to keep a record of daily data say Hong Kong stock, ~ 1000 securities.
i) It appears to me that I can use IB or Yahoo for the database update. Am I right? Which one is more convenient?
ii) There are more than 1000 local securities in HK. How can I develop and update a database with that amount of securities easily.
iii) Is there any difficult to updatae a database with more than 100 securities at a time with IB as a data feed? Or should Yahoo be a better choice?
iv) Any links or document that I should read regarding the creation and updating this database?
Your help is highly appreciated.
Regards
Sa

IB only allows you to have 100 symbols at a time,
unless you trade a lot, or pay more for data.

If all you needed is EOD data,
yahoo is a good source.
I don't know how to manage 1000+ symbols,
I have never tried it.
TJ,
Thanks! I know that IB only let you 100 symbols, unless you trade a lot, unfortunately I know.
How to add symbol with Yahoo as a data source?.... And the most difficult part is how to add 1000 + symbols and have time updated daily.....
Has anyone experience similar to what I am looking for?
I know that there is a software called MLDownder which can download quotes from Yahoo Finance easily with different format. Should I use it? Anyone has trid that to update a number of securities to let MC read the data?
