Urgh this is painful. You are talking about a graphic on the first page, not what is actually written. MSCI EAFE Index is for DEVELOPED nations in the EMEA regions (Europe, Middle East, (Far East/Pacific)Asia). Europe: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel...

Your information is wrong. Both are in "emerging markets".

What was your solution?

Nope too slow. Data quality is bad too. I'm assuming you're talking about Quotemedia data in Quandl?

For performance reasons, having a local database is much better when you are testing against a massive universe. This needs software to update it - so not "ghetto" at all. To put it into perspective, there are over 10000 securities that were are are still in the Russell 3000 back to 1990...

I use a hybrid system that takes data from quite a few sources including: NxCore (intraday/tick data, some corporate actions), Reuters Eikon (mainly daily data plus some corporate actions and index constituents), iQFeed (intraday), a few web site scrapes (for dividends & splits), Norgate's...

It was the recent data I was checking. The history is shocking. I use multiple sources of data to cross-check - it's paramount that I am alerted to any corporate actions (splits, spinoffs, dividends, symbol changes etc.) so I can adjust my stops. Here's a handful of corporate action errors...

Had a try of Tiingo for price data as a potential backup source for daily data. Didn't try any of the news information (not interested in that). Pros: Data retrieval is quick Cheap Cons: No index coverage Limited/confusing symbol classification information Corporate actions are inaccurate...

Demand a refund!

Comparing poo with poo means you always get poo. It might smell a bit different, look a bit chunkier or sloppier but it's still poo.

Anybody who uses an indicator without knowing a) how it's calculated (primary listing exchange or consolidated tape, which trade types are included etc.) and b) which instruments it uses in its calculations, is a fool. Just because some 50 year trading technique used it, it doesn't mean it's...

Agree with the comments on using a broker for data (don't do it without having a separate primary source) Surely $TICK is a market breadth indicator is historical dinosaur that should be in a museum and not on a trading screen. Only 2/3 of NYSE securities are equities - the rest are a...

Stop being paranoid. People have been publishing selected individual charts for a long time. Sure, if you publish a chart on every security (e.g. a financial portal) well then you probably have to agreements in place with the exchanges. Publishing a limited set of charts (especially if you...

Doesn't anyone read about the classic traders any more? i.e. Jesse Livermore and bucket shops. Same with cryptocurrency trading but you know the crooks are trying all the time to hack your accounts. For the youngsters: If you trade an unregulated market with a (mostly) unregulated broker you...

You can't afford to trade.

Simple: Don't be tempted to trade illiquid stocks. Don't even try to look at them. Heck, the YTEN example previously mentioned isn't even in the Russell Microcap index You should see the shit that trades as OTC! It's like a ma and pa diner decided to go public and issue stock... Market cap...

which OS/programming languages do you use?

Which apps do you use Frank?

I agree - Yahoo's data service is just not worth spending any time on using as a real trader. As a trader you should never be wondering if your data service is going to work today, or will retain the same functionality as yesterday. In terms of what I settled on... For my quant/TA trading...
