I'm looking for an inexpensive source for historical intraday split-adjusted equity data that allows me to download historical tick or 1-minute data on a regular basis (daily, weekly) for a large number of equities and save it in ascii (or other common) format. I don't need a realtime datafeed, however.
I looked at a variety of services, but encountered the following problems:
- It seems vendors of charting packages such as Tradestation or Metastock don't offer the functionality to export the historical data to ascii for a large number of equities at once (they say you can only convert one symbol at a time).
- It seems many brokers offer a datafeed with backfill, but they don't adjust for splits etc.
- It seems many datavendors offer (expensive) historical data on CD, but don't allow daily/weekly updates.
Does anyone know of a service that doesn't have these problems?
