Gentlemen I have been a participant, albeit infrequently, of this board, over the past several Years. I am looking for a quality dataset of FTSE all share (preferably split by FTSE100,FTSE250,FTSE3560 e.t.c) that anyone on here my be willing to sell I remember a few chaps UncleBob etc were...

many thanks blackmoon I would rather use what i have already paid a great deal for hence my askign if anyone has or can write explorations for the conditions used in the highlkighter part of Updata. I am particularly interested in the bullish/bearish catapult explorations as i already have the...

Just wondered if anyone had read the Jeremy Du Plessis book and written explorations for p&F bullish catapult, bullish/bearish traingle etc....

Hello again Henry I have resorted to using EODDATA whilst advfn look into the problems with their data, of which i have informed them via email.

Thanks for input Carriolan. Must admit that i have had problems with aDVFN feed too, in that certain securities in the EOD feed have close (C) > than high (H) price and Open < L. Metaload reported 10 errors with the feed when it had only updated 100 securities. Hmmmm....maybe my old provider...

Thanks DaveJB for your reply, I mentioned earlier on in the thread that an EOD supplier i WAS using and paying handsomely for completely messed me around, hence i started this thread looking for alternatives. I have spent a fortune on Software and my pot is rather more ample than most, that...

believe it or not i did EVENTUALLY find this out for myself. I have converted a few symbols that were missing, very very fiddly and time consuming, but worthwhile in the end. At last, i have found a use for DOWNLOADER. Many thanks Soya.

Thanks Henry, I have taken your point on board. I have opted to download some of my missing historical data from ADVFN, downloading the missing symbols from their site. One final problem i am faced with, is when i download their files and save, how do i incorporate this new security into my...

Henry Many thanks, you make a most valid point. Even when i worked down there i was taught to pay attention to the smallest detail, i still do that to this day. I want the datatbase set up with everything just for completeness sake really, maybe i will be forced to give up this time. I take...

Thanks for reply Henry. I think it's my poor communication skills, i am not really expressing properly what i am trying to achieve. This is my fault. I have 2356 stocks in my UK database and this morning when looking at the metaload update file, it said 216 stocks were missing and 2356 had...

I don't think you are being rude at all and thank you for your reply. A little clarification, first of all, i am not using Yahoo data and have never specified that i am. Second, i am well and truly versed in the art of TA and Stocks in general (I worked in the City of London, 99 Bishopsgate...

Many thanks for all the replies, i have now successfully configured Metaload to update my Metastock files from EODDATA. Thanks to all. One further question to you all. I now have a situation where my Symbol database would appear out of date, i have 216 symbols missing. 1.....Can someone...

Maybe a seperate thread could be started for Metastock plug ins. I would be grateful for any further input on sources of EOD data and how people update their Metastock files on a daily basis. TIA.

A query for the experts, i have read all of the EOD data update threads on the board and wonder if anyone has tried www.eoddata.com , i currently use PRESTEL and Metaload to update my files daily. I am looking for an alternative option to update my files As i use Metaload i assume the data...

Don't think there is any need to be defensive old chap, by bringing your bank manager into it....;-) Trading all boils down to 2 things, discipline and timing, if you don't have them you are never going to make it with any "system". Good luck everyoine.
