In HQuote they had built in the routines to prevent the over-using of Yahoo's servers and downloading the same data too often ( ~ 30min ) Also, recently you could notice the buggy performance of Yahoo itself, you can't get the data even from their web pages, the data is irregularly either available or unavailable. If you have too many symbols in one folder and some of them do not update due to Yahoo bugs, you probably get a problem you describe. I have 3 folders of approximately 500 symbols and it distributes the data within a few seconds on Pentium-4 2000Mhz     -----Original Message----- From: Rik Rasmussen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2004 9:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [bestcharts] ITA Same for MSFT. -----Original Message----- From: Rik Rasmussen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2004 8:58 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [bestcharts] ITA The first HQuote update for GSK only got data through the 19th.   I just updated GSK again and got data for the 20th.   Looks like same problem to me.   Rik Rasmussen Best Charts Yahoo Group Moderator http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bestcharts/ -----Original Message----- From: Rik Rasmussen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2004 8:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [bestcharts] ITA I just put four symbols in HQuote Pro and updated them.   QQQ, GSK, CSCO, MSFT   2 got full data   2 have no data for the 20th.   I tried to update the bad ones again but HQuote says I am trying to soon, try later.     Rik Rasmussen Best Charts Yahoo Group Moderator http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bestcharts/ -----Original Message----- From: Rob Kipp [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2004 8:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [bestcharts] ITA Rik -   What I can't understand is that my downloading data from Yahoo with HQuote - Pro,  my charts are just fine.  They have today's, yesterdays... etc. Also all Intraday charts are fine,  10 - 15-30-60 min.   Why the problems with Best Charts?    I guess I should look at importing data into Best Charts this way - but have never been able to make that work.

I am a frustrated user also.   If you do try Amibroker, you can use Yahoo data, but you do have other choices. I use TC2000 data with Amibroker.   Another good choice is Incredible Charts.
