There are a few free sources for EOD data: yahoo finance http://chart.yahoo.com/d moneycentral (EOD & intraday): http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/charts/charting.asp?Symbol=csco (click file->export on the chart) For intraday data or automated data collection you may use software from http://www.ashkon.com or http://www.hquotes.com
For intraday data: www.tickdata.com Can anybody recommend a website with free EOD historical quotes for futures (incl. bonds, metals, currencies, etc.)?
CSI has a more complete coverage of world wide markets. Data can be downloaded up to 10 years. (can buy more) If you maintain your own data, you can access all history you like. Not bashing on Pinnacle, but they come free with my software, and I still have my CSI though.....
I reccomend www.premiumdata.net for eod futures and indexes. Very reasonable cost and good software. I tried www.prophetdata.net but did not like it.
Having a look at TC2000 it seems that EPS figures are missing for a great many quarters for a great many securities. The significance of this is that stock screening based upon earnings criteria becomes of little value. Further, the EPS figures are available elsewhere, just not in TC2000. Am I missing something? I'd really like to know since TC200 seems to well thought of. Also, the data sheets show % changes rather than the actual quarterly EPS figures. It's not possible to verify the correctness of the % change figures from basic EPS figures. Thanks for any response.
Apparently this company does have a database including obsolete tickers: http://www.qaisoftware.com/software.html To CharlesXT question: I have heard that CGQ has the best data. I have tested NYSE intraday day from eSignal and quote.com, and have to say that the data quality is not good enough to perform serious intraday backtesting. Oliver
