I gave it try. The free API has a few limitations but the paid is pretty awesome for $10 a month. Only reason I do not use it is because there is no support for Canadian indices at the moment. I still think Quandl has the best API and indices coverage but $49.99 a month is a bit steep for my...

Looks like to me its double the work. The method used requires using the one request to get the cookie and a second to download the data. I used this link https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAAP/history?period1=1474000669&period2=1505536669&interval=1d&filter=history&frequency=1d and then...

I started this thread https://yahoo.uservoice.com/forums/382977-finance/suggestions/31332256-yahoo-finance-paid-api on Yahoo's website where one can make suggestions on their services. I suggested yahoo bring back their API ad a low budget paid service. If anyone wants to contribute click and...

I have programmed in both and some other languages. C++ is the hardest to learn but imo it is the way to go. It is the most verstile. I eventually decided to switch to c++ not only to create better trading relating software but to start using it to create non trading related programs where...

Quandl free API is pretty awesome and it appears they adjusted for dividends and splits. To bad there are only 3000 stocks available. As for the others they seam to require you download all of their end of data in one shot and run there software. I prefer an API that allows me to query one...

Any opinions on scrapping data directly from the NASDAQ website?

How is the data? Is it adjusted for dividends and splits? Can you connect your own software?

I run a screener that I programmed in C++ and use data from a free source. Looking to find a reliable paid source with an API and accurate data that is adjusted for splits and dividends. I trade stocks on NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX, TSX. I did some searching for the best paid data source for EOD with...

Thanks scalperjoe. That's what I was thinking but I didn't want to take a position and learn the hard way. I was hoping to trade the etfs using seasonal trading.

Maybe a stupid question but has anyone traded short etfs. I guess basically my question is if the price of the etfs goes up then is it a loss or a profit?

Firgured it out. You use QCategoryAxis.

Wondering how to use QDateTimeAxis to show the first date of each month as the ticks.

Actually that's pretty much how I learned Python. Took about a week to go through all the episodes and learn python.

As far as I know python is bit code that runs on a platform for pre-made c++ routines. Also know as an interpreter. This setup will always be slower than C++ since there is another layer to get to the machine code routines. C++ is the most direct unless you learn assembly.

Ya, I had a feeling I would be violating their policies.

Thanks for both replies. I agree that eoddata is unreliable but their list is more complete than other sources . I had a feeling it was going to take a few steps the login with a program.

I have written some programs to screen stocks. Nothing that would actually place a trade but rather just to sort data in a manner that any other service could not provide. I have written in Java, Python, Qt. Java: It's been a years since I have used Java. I found it to be slow and require too...

I was wondering if anyone knows a way to download something from EODData programmically? I would like to download files from their website with in my program instead of having to login and download files. I have tried http://username:password@eoddata.com/Data/symbollist.aspx?e=AMEX but it fails...

Actually you can get a free list for pretty much and indice from EODData. Just signup for the free account. Not sure how accurate their info is.

I found this link. http://www.nasdaq.com/screening/company-list.aspx?nsep=1 gives the year of ipo . Have to find something for TSE now.
