Dear Bill, Sorry for my wrong selection of words.
I want to say that I need EOD data daily for formulating my daily strategy. And I want to say that it takes me 2 hours (not 5 minutes) every day for the 1,000 NSE India stocks. In fact today it took me 3 hours. Is there a faster method of downloading daily EOD data direct into Amibroker from Yahoo Finance?
