Free Quotes not updating
Free Quotes not updating
Hi yahoo quotes are a nice easy source for daily historical data. In the past I used ^DJI for the dow jones industrials and ^GDAXI fro the dax index.
Niether of these seem to work any more and nothing is going on in quote manger. I tried using these symbols in NT and they worked fine (so I guess I have the right symbol name).
Any ideas? Has something changed this worked a couple of versions back?

Hello,
At the moment Free Quotes' functioning is not perfectly stable.
For example, I just checked both symbols and while the chart for DJI was plotted, I couldn't get a chart for DAXI.
We have already developed a solution for this problem. The next version of MultiCharts due next week will have this fixed.

Will this support indices such as $TICK, $TRIN, $WPCVA and $VIX.X?Hello,

I know this thread is 2 years old but I recently upgraded to 5.5 and free quotes sill appear not to be working. Could someone update what the status of this issue is?
The free data providers actually have a massively broad range of instruments they cover (some you would be hard pushed to find data for elsewhere) They also have good amounts of daily historical data making this a very valuable feature.
Cheers.

Hi Nick,
I have the same problem.
Have you got a solution?
Perhaps we can ascii map the file where the freequotes are stored.Any idea where
this is?

Re: Free Quotes not updating
Dear nick111,
Could you please be more precise? Currently, there should be no issues with Free Quotes data source - EOD historical data from google and yahoo servers is working fine on our end.

Re: Free Quotes not updating
I'm not sure but I think that Nick and Nick ask if free quotes, Yahoo or Google, update themselves (without reset the QM)
For example:
I've got on my MC's screen a DAX chart from Yahoo Finance, I assume that the last bar is the 10 of january. If I let my computer and MC run one day, is a new bar, the 01/11 one, appears without human intervention?
Thank You.

Re: Free Quotes not updating
Most free quotes are not streaming data feeds.
The charts will not update by itself even if you leave the computer on all day.
You'd need to reload the charts to get new data.

Re: Free Quotes not updating
Thank u TJ!
Do u know a way to have free streaming quote, like DAX or SP500?
I set email alert on daily data on 3/4 indexes, it will be dumb to pay 50$ to pay for it.
Thank you.

Re: Free Quotes not updating
Hi
The only way I can make the updates on free quotes work is if delete all symbols in quote manager and re-enters them all over. I am following 50 symbols so this is a very time consuming process-
Is there another way to do this ??.
Other vendors has a manual update function that can be activated or IF a if quotes are listed in the in the scanner window then it automatically updates the free quotes, when the window/workspace is opened .

Re: Free Quotes not updating
I am not sure if I understand you.Please forgive me the dumb question.
But how does one retrieve the free quotes (once a day), anyway?
The quotes are retrieved when you open the chart.
Can you elaborate a bit if this is not what you are looking for?

In QuoteManager, I enable finance.yahoo.com under Tools > Data Sources > Free Quotes > Settings.I am not sure if I understand you.

Then I manually add symbol GDXJ for Market Vectors Junior Gold Mine.
And get "Not Supported."

Re: Free Quotes not updating
Sorry guys. It doesn't work
See attached screenshoot.
Download missing historical data is activated
Carlb.co -- Carlsberg was entered in quote manager 1.feb.2011 - it hasn't updated since
"View - Reload" doesn't solve the problem either

"Not Supported" refers to collect RT data w/o plotting option which is not supported for Free Quotes symbols since they do not have real-time. You need to reload the chart, replot it or restart MC to get data for the last day.

Re: Free Quotes not updating
Dear khalaad,
I understand your point, but this comes from the fact that Free Quotes provide only historical EDO data, no real-time.

Re: Free Quotes not updating
But Freequotes data is buggy
Full data isn't available from Yahoo. and Google not connecting.
Best option to load Historical OED is to use ASCII and load manually.
else go for any paid data.
