Is there a way to find out what happened around certain date in the past? For example, by reviewing other traders' trade log on Internet, I found him "Bought AMZN Apr 50 Put @ $10.60. " on Dec. 4, 2008. How do I review this trade? I want to find out what happened around that date Dec. 4, 2008 on AMZN, where do I find such past historical news/data? Hopefully there is a software that can help with all these things! Thanks a lot!
You're not looking for a software, you're looking for a datafeed. Look for historic US intraday options data. Do your research and post it here.
ill post this again because maybe others.. just dont know on google search you can specify a date... search news?? http://news.google.com/archivesearc...=p0&as_scoring= Amazon shares rise after Barclays upgrade BusinessWeek - Dec 4, 2008 Shares of Amazon.com Inc. rose Thursday after Barclays Capital analyst upgraded the online retailer, calling its business model "structurally sound." ...
Look, I am looking for a software that can put everything all together. Now we are searching all kinds of website where they are scattered around.
Investor/RT can certainly do this, with a variety of data feeds. Here ya go: http://www.charthub.com/images/2009/02/07/AMZN_2.png But I/RT certainly isn't alone in the ability to do this. And the data feed must supply data that far back. I used DTN IQFeed to obtain the data above, and I know you can go back to at least 2007 on 1-minute bar backfills.
For historical data, I don't worry, because i am subscribing to TS or WealthLab, etc. I am looking for a "point-to-click" function, for any point in the past, you can zoom in and find whatever info around that date, for example, fundamentals, big news, big events, and of course prices, etc.
