Dear all,

We are currently developing a new Data Download tool and are looking for testers. On release, this will be for 'Active' and above subscription levels.

If you are interested please click here.

Your comments and suggestions are welcome.

Karl.

hil,

I will pass this message onto Karl.

ttt.

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?

Or getting it around 7pm as well? ;)

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?

Ian

Only a few rows down, Ian.

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... ;)

Ladies first, BT.

:o)

Thanks Karl.

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.

Fix in for OHLC prices low volume stock.

Enjoy.

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

:o)

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}

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 ;)

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

:o)

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

Any news on the download time yet, Karl?

These little legs of mine can't wait to get out of my wellies.

:o)

WOOF !

I'm not a dog, BT.
