You supply AQ with a list of tickers you wish to download along with the time period - for example the last 5 years of data. AQ processes the data in 2 steps, one is downloading the data and then converting it into AmiBroker internal format. Yahoo! has two quote servers one for historical data which downloads one stock at a time, and a second which downloads just the most recent days OHLCV but hundreds of stocks at a time. Use the historical server to establish the data base, then use the Current server to update the database each day. If you forget to download, go back to the historical server to fill in the gap. --- In amibro...@yahoogrou ps.com, "rvlv" <r...@...> wrote: > > Hello helpful friends > > I myself use a paid data from third party source. > A friend of mine came with his Amibroker and asked me to help download yahoo > eod data into his data database. > > I could not do it. > Reason? > When I clicked tools on the top toolbar, All i can see is > plugins, customise. > > The autoupdate quotes(amiquote only) is not seen. > > Can a expert Amibroker user guide me how to set it up ,please > > By the way my friend told me,he did some fingering and it disappeared. > > Thanks in advance for help > > > --------- > I presume I may have to do something like > > click customise > click New > add autoupdate > select autoupdate > then click on tools > highlight autoupdate > set command line as C:\amibroker\ AmiQuote\ Quote.exe > aRGUMENT SET AS /autoupdate > iNITIAL DIRECTORY set as C:\amibroker\ AmiQuote > ------------ --------- ----- > I tried all these > but Amiquote opens, updates data showing,requesting, downloading, imported > then I check chart (database data already selected) > no data showing. > the tickers are all correct. > > Can you please guide me how to fix this issue? > obviously something went missing. >
