Yahoo current CAN be used for feeding (for instance) 1 min intraday "live" charts. This is particular useful as it is free.
In theory AmiQuote could be set up to collect current data (for instance each minute). The output format looks like: "^DJI","DOW JONES INDUSTR",11199.93,"8/2/2006","4:03pm",+74.20,11125.57,11229.46,11125.25,228462832 For "live intraday" eg 1 minute charts we would only be interested in the Date, Time and "Last Price (Close)" values. The other "Open" "High" "Low" Fields relate to EOD data and not relevant for our purpose and thus should be ignored. The problem however is the "time" format as AmiQuote doesnot recognize the "4:03pm" format in above example. According the help file ...The time should be time in HH:MM:SS or HH:MM or HHMM or HHMMSS format Maybe someone knows a solution to this .... Meanwhile a (i must admit) more complicated solution is to use a 3rd party (free) utility called "Quotecat" http://www.quotecat.com/ and collect the data in an Excel sheet. Then use the DDE plugin to feed the intraday Amibroker database. The Excel/DDE link has been discussed earlier in this list. This solution works without a problem here since over a year. Of course no backfill etc...but remember it is free. But not being a daytrader it still allows me to follow intraday live charts of indices etc, which is ok for me and undoutedly for may other fellow traders... Fred ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hello excelent_sanjay, Yahoo finance does not have intraday charts as such. It only has 20 minute delayed snapshots. Setup AmiBroker as per the instructions in the attached links. After the NSE is closed you can download end of day prices from Yahoo historical. When the market is open switch Amiquote to Yahoo current and download snapshot data. This will append 20 minute snapshots to the previous days data. Repeat the current download if you want a refresh. http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/amibroker/message/99025 http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/amibroker/message/100473 BrianB2. --- In [email protected], "excelent_sanjay" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello friends can u tell me how to connect ami broker to nse for live > intraday charts using yahoo finance.
