Re: ***** Backfill Downloader

Dear Jdm,
I tried your software . This is very useful to me. But i Request to you, Can you change symbol Name S&P CNX N.Ns to NSEI (When i checked ya..ah..hoo symbol box)in PIB DATA. Because we are downloading 1 / 5 days intraday ya..ah..hoo data from your software. (^NSEI is ya..ah..hoo symbol for s&p cnx Nifty). If you change this we may use Spot Nifty data also using PIB. Please Consider My Request . WE ARE WAITING FOR YOUR UPDATION.

Thanks & regards
VMKV

Re: ***** Backfill Downloader

hi folks,
Yah00 is planning to provide data at rock bottom price. but the data quality has always been a point of discussion. in order fellow members could feel the quality of the same i made a small application which downloads backfill data from Yah00. feedback for the same can help one and all.

this is perhaps the first application which captures backfill data from Yah00. the application is very simple and is self explanatory in nature.

the data comes in two formats. one min data, having backfill for the day only and five minute data, having backfill for the last five days. the data comes in ASCII format which can be read by MetaStock Amibroker, FCharts and other popular charting softwares.

this project is a part of a larger project (for an RT application) and any feedback will be very useful. i hope fellow members will find the application useful.

cheers,
jdm.

update 10.12.2007

hi folks,
i have completely revamped the application. now in addition to Yah00 data, one can download nse bhavcopy and can also convert pib data. the new version is built on .net framework and the problem of missing dlls will no longer bother one. of-course one needs .net framework 2 to be installed in his/her computer.

the app is very simple and self explanatory in nature.

Yah00 one/five minute
the default setting is meant for metastock. just put the downloader to good use the data will be converted. you can check/uncheck the appropriate settings to customize according to your needs.

to add or remove scripts edit the "Yah00 one minute.txt" or "Yah00 five minute.txt" text files.

nse bhavcopy downloader
downloads nse bhavcopy. only the EQ and BE series is downloaded. if both EQ and BE series are present then only the EQ series is appended (this is true for data prior to introduction of rolling settlement).

in addition a market breath report is also appended which might come in handy to many.

pib converter
well, it converts pib data to ascii files, so that the downloader can read the same. data downloader appends only the near month future (data symbol is appended as "NIFTY-1 and so on) and cash data.

just take care to write the settlement date in ddMMMyyyy format only in the "Settlement Date" text box. otherwise futures data wont be appended. for example write 25DEC2007 (uppercase only) to append data for december futures. you need to change the settlement date after expiry at the end of every settlement.

Update 01.02.2008
fixed bugs in the nse bhavcopy downloader
pib data now comes sorted


hope fellow boarder finds the application useful.

cheers,
jdm.

Hi jdm,
We like your utility. It is very very useful.
Have you developed real time version? ie.the data backfills every so many minutes automatically and the same gets imported into TA software.

If the real time version is not for free, Pls let us know the price.

Thanks,
Sgpal
