you can get intraday grom finance.google. i have a rather large mysql database with eod data for stocks/futures /rates and economic data if interested
I don't know how to get a list of all symbols that existed, but you can get historical index components, for the major indices at their relevant websites (i.e. the S&P site and the nasdaq sites), which is usually what you want anyways. The problem, though is I don't know of a free location to get the historical data series for the symbols that no longer trade.
Maybe a better way would be to get end of day/week/month data from somewhere and build a list that way. Does anyone here have such a list?
Anyone know where to get historical data in the form of minute data? I want to be able to view the minute data on a chart as well.
A good source of intraday data i use is http://www.visualchart.com It's a charting, backtesting software. You can download the trial version and after the trial has ended, you can still download txt historical datas ( between 6-8 pm french time ). I have it for 2 years now. You get a wide range of datas from comstock down to 1 min: Euro and US futures, forex, and a great range of domestic stock markets( US, UK, Euronext, Spain, Germany, Italy, Sweden... ) It's my favourite source of datas.
Is it possible to get previous symbol lists from it or details of symbols that were newly listed and delisted from an exchange?
