Dan, I am not sure how other handle it. I know many are willing to to do a lot of work in order to use free data from Yahoo or add fundamenttal info from Yahoo. I have not tried it, but my impression has been that what you get is what you pay for. I would rather pay a reasonable fee and get a reliable product.
About TC 2000, I beleive it is slower than QP and remapping can be a bunch of work and I don't care for their industry mapping either. QP has been fine for me with very few exceptions. We all meet some unacceptable service personnel from time to time ... I take it as part of dealing with people. It's usually OK, but sometime it is not. Sorry can't really be of much help.

It's been a long time. I remember that I did not like the industry/sector info from TC2000. I can remap the data if necessary. How do others handle this? Thanks, Dan. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ara Kaloustian Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2008 9:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [amibroker] New EOD data feed other than Quotes Plus TC2000 is reliable, but they do not have fundamentals or very few. (at least that's what I remember from a while back). They do not have commodities and charge extra for mutual funds. Their data is ready earlier than QP. Their industry / sector structure is completely different tha QP. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dan Clark To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2008 8:55 PM Subject: [amibroker] New EOD data feed other than Quotes Plus I've been using Quotes Plus data for the last 2-1/2 years. Overall, I've been very happy with Quotes Plus data and Gary Lyben's (owner/president) responsiveness. That said. In the last few days, I've swapped several e-mails about a minor billing issue (credit card renewed with different number) with a woman in his billing department. What should have been a very minor clerical issue left me feeling EXTREMELY angry and offended. I vowed to switch my data feed from Quotes Plus to another data feed as soon as possible. This is a major issue for me because of the amount of AFL recoding involved, but I can no longer do business with Quotes Plus. I need some options for other EOD data feeds. What EOD service are you using? What has your experience been? What are the alternatives now? Thanks and regards, Dan.
