bellman: Some examples: they put splits where there are none, they count some splits twice, put splits on the wrong date, missed some completely, they often are very late on performing corporate actions (there was a 310:1 split that was over two months late). At least on my trading signals...

Plenty more events that just normal dividends and splits. Spinoffs, LT/ST capital gains returns, capital returns, liquidations, reorgs not to mention conditional events. None of these are particularly done well or consistently by Yahoo and Google. And both have their own issues with normal...

Actually, funds employ people to generate signals and separate people to execute trades. Profit is reason #1. Forget the rest. Stop being paranoid. Start trading without paranoia.

Hackers aren't interested in an individual trader's trading strategy. They are more interested in your online banking passwords (drain your funds), your web site and email passwords so they can spoof your identity and send out ransomeware. Stop being paranoid and start trading!

Simple. Lock it down by trading it yourself. Stop trying to sell a custom strategy. By doing so you look like a spruiker.

Beware of survivorship bias.

Rather than have a whinge about something new, ask for assistance in YOUR environment about how best to handle current versions of software. Underneath the hood, Windows 10 has a stack of improvements. Will this affect your environment much? Probably not. Will you have to deal with it? Yes...

I remember a few years ago that CSI Data was the main daily data supplier to Yahoo, MSN Finance and I think also Google Finance too. There must be a good reason that they were dropped. PS - Stock volumes in Yahoo are also incorrect in that they match nobody else. Beware!

Yahoo's (CSI Data) volume data for DJIA only represents the listing exchange volume of each stock, not the consolidated volume. In my opinion that is wrong because it ignores the majority of volume traded elsewhere for each stock in the index.

I don't use XP - I use Windows 10 with AB v6.10. Using AQ is fine (even though the free data sources have all sorts of issues) After several years (even on a VM) XP could be overloaded with rubbish. It's probably worth investigating a fresh new image with a fresh install of Windows.

The problem is not divisors. The problem is the source of the data - CSI Data. For whatever reason they use the primary listed exchange volume for each stock. Why? Who trades a stock on its primary exchange these days? So they ignore all of the volume that occurs on other exchanges. For...

A snapshot doesn't take up much space - only sectors that are changed since you did a snapshot are written out. Anyway, time to get more disk space. It's so cheap these days and if it's causing you issues in trying to diagnose problems, it's contributing to your issues.

I mean just uninstall AB, remove the AmiBroker folder from Program Files, and install it again - not a full system reinstall! With VirtualBox just create a snapshot and try it.

I'd say there's some inherited folder permissions that are also screwed up too. At install time, AmiBroker sets the folder to User modifiable but maybe your database folder has some other weird rights set on it. Check that. If it's not that, an uninstall and reinstall is probably your best...

Try doing a full install of AmiBroker (not upgrade) - I'd say your COM/OLE linkages are broken.

If those gentlemen show there for 10 years then they must be a winning trader for long time.

Who's Hugh and why would I pay him rent? How does his influence moderate global rent prices? The only Hugh I know about is trying to sell his mansion right now, but I guess you could rent it.

How about a public restroom inside a Starbucks? Free Internet - being free it has to be the pinnacle of reliability Privacy - nobody will steal your trades or photograph you through a window Comfortable throne - trade like a king! Ate a dodgy curry last night? Won't miss a trade due to toilet...

Go to daily and screw using 1 or 5 min. It'll make your life a lot easier.

I don't think you're getting the point. Crawling (web page scraping) for a serious trader is like asking a talented medical student to perform a heart bypass - sure they'll probably get it right most of the time but when it screws up, you lose. By all means, paper trade it or start out with...
