What, they must give opening prices. In any event, even Yahoo finance, or the Wall St. Journal will have opening/hi/low/close I think.

On our Redi, we can have both the consoldiated quotes or just NYSE, but most free services have opening prices for NYSE stocks.

Thanks Don, I was just using the opening #'s b/c I had them in hand...so I will use prev close for cash, and the price for future that I see right before market opens.


As far as NYSE open historical prices...you have to get that from nysedata.com for a pretty hefty price.

The opening price that is listed on yahoo, or any other site is not the specialist open...it is the first price (mos of the time an ECN) that prints after 9:30am. It is many times way out of line (bad print or no liquidity at that price) from the real opening.
 
hi don,

thanks for the reply. i check both ib and yahoo's "opening" prices against time & sales for symbols like bac, c, hal, and others and nowhere are they at what t&s shows. nyse charges money for that info so probably need to do that. i tried esignal dde with excel but excel is too slow(vba) to capture that info consistently.

I use esignal dde also...you can track your own NYSE opening price/

Dont need to capture

formula is =winros|open!'amr=n'

NYSE open for AMR

have to manually type in the 'amr=n' (can't uise the DDE matrix fill)

I checked my opening list, and the previous closes matched Yahoo, but I have seen discrepencies as well.

A service I like, for $4.95 month is MyTrack.com - good for research, not real time, but you don't need RT for research anyway, just FYI.

Historical open/hi/low/close on it.

Discrepancies can be avoided by using the correct quote source, which for equities having the NYSE as their primary exchange, can be either Bloomberg.com or the NYSE site itself. They are both free and will give an accurate (as much as that is possible) value for the closing price of a NYSE-based equity. The same can be said for the OP, BUT one needs RT data for what the OOG does, which ain't free.

The first price du jour is but rarely the OP for a NASDAQ equity, but as already pointed out in prior posts, NASDAQ stocks are not part of the OOG equity repertoire.

I misspoke in my most recent post and have amended it to refer to just the NASDAQ. As to the reliability of Yahoo, to each his own.
