Re post 70, is there any reason why certain UB sectors have double entries? Could the duff entries be removed please?

hil,

I will pass this message onto Karl.

Ian/Karl,

Some of the overseas data is definitely dodgy. There are stocks which show a close higher than the daily high or lower than the daily low. How does that work?

I see that some of the UB sectors are still duplicated. Is there an update of if or when the index column might be inserted?

BrianTrayda - 24 Oct 2004 09:02 - 88 of 218

Or getting it around 7pm as well? ;)

hilary - 24 Oct 2004 12:15 - 89 of 218

BT,

Being brutally honest, if the data is inaccurate, it doesn't really matter what time of day it's delivered!

Hilary/BT,

Karl is back in tomorrow, so I will pass your comments onto him then - Hil, can you give me one or 2 specific examples and I will get they guys to take a look?

Ladies and Gents,

Sorry for the long wait but I have managed to address some of the issues you have mentioned.

- The duplicate rows have been removed.

- A column which shows all the index's the stock belongs to has been added.

- The OHLC data for non-traded stock has been fixed.

The outstanding issues are:

- Some strange OHLC values for lightly traded stock. (I will be looking into the actual data we have for these stocks.)

- The data download at a sensible time.

Thanks for your patience,

Karl.

Oh - that's Hilary... ;)

hilary - 27 Oct 2004 16:18 - 94 of 218

Ladies first, BT.

:o)

Thanks Karl.

Karl(MoneyAM) - 27 Oct 2004 16:32 - 95 of 218

It was my pleasure :)

I have also discovered the reason for the strangeness in small volume stock.

It appears that we have the High and Low "traded" price. Therefore if only 1 trade has gone through the High and Low will both be set to the same. This could cause some strangeness with a Low price being higher than an open for example.

I will put in a fix to change this odd behaviour.

Karl.


Karl(MoneyAM) - 27 Oct 2004 16:44 - 96 of 218

Fix in for OHLC prices low volume stock.

Enjoy.

hilary - 27 Oct 2004 16:47 - 97 of 218

That just leaves the problem of the download time then Karl.

:o)

BrianTrayda - 27 Oct 2004 16:49 - 98 of 218

Me and Hil will send you beer tokens for Chrissy if you make it 7pm ;)
Or, if you're really good, you may get to see Hil's legsss... {swoon}

hilary - 27 Oct 2004 16:55 - 99 of 218

This is the most I'm prepared to show till the download time is sorted, Karl.

:o)

Well I guess it has just been moved up the list ;)

hilary - 28 Oct 2004 08:03 - 101 of 218

A lot better this morning, thanks Karl. Are we at the top of the list yet?

:o)

IanT(MoneyAM) - 28 Oct 2004 08:06 - 102 of 218

Hil,

With a promise like that I am sure that Karl will have stamped this as 'PRIORITY' - I will mention it to him when he gets in.

Ian
