No need to pay for TSE data, I dont need all the symbols, only the ones that have volume. CA:SYM works fine but works very "strange"
If you enter "CA:BMO" in amibroker and then do an autodownload with AQ, notice a new symbol is created in AB, "CA_BMO". The download works, but all the data goes to CA_BMO. I entered CA_BMO in the alias field of CA"BMO and tried it again after deleting CA_BMO and it doesnt work. AB support suggested this. Here is what I get from MSN when I double click on the symbol after downoad, within AQ $NAME CA:ABH "Copyright © 2009 Thomson Reuters." "Quotes supplied by Interactive Data." "Stock price data provided by Nomura Research Institute, Ltd. Quotes delayed 20 minutes." AbitibiBowater Inc (CA:ABH) Daily prices DATE,OPEN,HIGH,LOW,CLOSE,VOLUME 12/31/2008,0.57,0.58,0.485,0.57,320400 12/30/2008,0.63,0.64,0.57,0.57,102600 12/29/2008,0.67,0.67,0.6,0.6,117600 12/24/2008,0.61,0.7,0.61,0.62,70000 In summary, it works fine when I have two of almost the same symbols in AB "CA:BMO" and "CA_BMO" I'm going to play around with this a little more.
