Treliff, I was able to get it to work....here is how...
open up my computer > program files > Amibroker re-name my current Us Stocks data to Us-Stocks1....my database is already selected to open Us-Stocks Drag the Zip file > Us Stocks folder to Amibroker..... Close everything Open up Amibroker I now get the messages that not enough data to produce a chart Select Amiquote...and update. ----- Original Message ----- From: treliff To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, July 30, 2007 1:58 PM Subject: [amibroker] Re: New Yahoo US-Stocks database uploaded 2007.07.28 Honestly Dick, I'm a little perplexed as to why it *does* work, meaning the AmiQuote update. There seems no way to extract the ticker list from AmiBroker if there are no quotes yet. Susan what I do is extract Stocks-XLS.zip, open in excel, copy/paste column D into notepad (delete 1st row) and save this with .tls extension, then open this in AmiQuote. No effort at all by the way, but Dick if there's a smarter way please enlighten us. PS Jim: as always, gratefully received. -treliff --- In [email protected], "areehoi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Susan, > I'm a little perplexed as to why it didn't work.
