On June 20th 2007, I posted information about opentick.com Anyhow, after making pitiful attempts at writing "J" code to access the web site so I could download historical stock data, I found I could get the information easily from yahoo.finance.com.
If you go to http://finance.yahoo.com/ and search for any stock, you will note on the left side of the screen there is a "download historical data" option. If you click this, you will have displayed the historical stock data for about 1 month. If you scroll to the bottom of the screen, you can select "Download To Spreadsheet". This will download the historical data for the default date range. I keep my data stored as a tab delimited file. Now all I have to do is find some J code that will the tab deleated data file and turn it into an J array. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
