New tool for building multi stock time series data sets

Hi:

I have built a new tool that makes it easy to get multi-stock time series.

http://wikiposit.org/stockbuild

You select as many names as you want and then you can download a data set of daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or annual closing prices for all the stocks in one clean data set. levels or % change. includes indices too.

feedback, comments, etc appreciated.

thanks
Eric.
 
Maybe you also include an OHLCV graph type as an alternative to the line chart? ie. Volume below the main chart with candlesticks in the main chart to represent OHLC.

Then just try and polish off the charting display, including:-
ability to compare two or more stocks
ability to compare individual stock versus the averages/sector
some nice colours & fonts, ability to change scaling, gridlines
bigger charts

I notice that there is a futures section also. Really for all these financial products you want OHLCV for backtesting or doing any serious analytical work. Are you able to update this information for each of the futures products too?

It would be quite useful to be able to grab hold of commodity futures and financial futures daily OHLCV data over a really long time period, 10+ years say...

Did you know Gold was at $35 in 1931 and today is $1400?!
