At least they mentioned/advertised the database in amiboker site as it would be brand new. At so far, I found a few tickers not exist anymore, but db and companies listed should be enough for average users. I checked your hemscott DB and it seems to have more companies (over 10.000) instead amibroker DB included average 7000- 8000 companies. So, it seems you have even more fulfilled DB via hemsscott.
After I researched Hemscott DB, it actually have nothing to do with Ameribroker DB - Quality, Quantity and reliability are far from each other. Let´s say this way; This issue is not for you. I took & work only for test purpose with amibroker and not very taken or satisfied of with the application. Meta is far much better.
