Grey1,

If you're looking for DOW historical data, I could send you this in an Excel sheet. What intervals over what time period are you looking for (and OHLC?)?

Silly suggestion...

Hi Grey1,

I don't have eSignal, but just thinking from a silly-kind-of-thing-that-might-be-causing-the-problem perspective here... I am assuming the $INDU is in exactly the same format as the other data... So, assuming formatting is not the cause, it could possibly be the '$' sign in front of the 'INDU' symbol. Depending on your format, you will either have $INDU just at the top of the data, or $INDU all the way down for each Open, High, Low, ... Try changing every occurrence of '$INDU' to 'INDU'...

Come from a programming background and usually if it's not immediately visible - it's something simple...


Just a thought,

Magnus

p.s. Thank you very much Grey1 for your postings here in TT over the last 4 or years. You gave me access to the room about 3 days ago and I have been reading from it about 16 hours each day so far. It's a wealth of information...

Iraj,

If all else fails try their technical support as they should be able to sort this one quickly in my view.

When you use the downloader:-
1. Is $INDU set up as an Index in Globalserver ?

2. Is Globalserverset up to download Indexes seperately from stocks (Pic on left) ?

3. and for Indexes have you got check-boxes to tick for 1 Minute and 1 Day (Pic on Right) ?

If not then you need to add Indexes and select 1 Minute and 1 Day as in middle pic.

OK, so does it look like the pic on the right (in my post), before you download ?

Exactly the same yes.

Exactly the same yes.

OK, so regarding the Date ranges in the Download box, do you change the 'From' date to something further in the past
e.g. for Daily use 25/4/1995 ?

(Sorry for the silly questions but as Yuppie said it could be something simple - finger trouble I call it )

And have you succesfully downloaded $INDU data in the past on this PC/Setup ?
Or is any data you have (do you have any at all ?) only from live updating ?

Yes the data goes to past ,, NO PROBLEMS WITH STOCKS ,, JUST THE INDECIES
I have never been able to down laod INDU successfully , I have always used DATABULL for 6 month and the rest was based on lIVE UPDATING ,,,

Grey1

What version are you on ?
Service Pack 5 Build 822 was the last version.
i.e. 5.00.0822

(Hard to imagine that any version of TS doesn't allow indices !! )

This does not sound right to me as I have never had an issue downloading INDU data although I don't use esignal. What version of TS are you running ?

You can get any updates that you may need from here:
