BSE multiple scrips EOD Data Downloader V1.0 (Year 1991 to Current Date)

satish_goteti · #1 4th July 2006, 11:28 PM

Dear friends,

Here is a small utility I created based on jdm's tool which I am sure will help most of us in not paying for EOD data of BSE to multiple sellers. Just pick the stocks you want to download data from the BSE symbol list file and enter them in the downloader and hit Go and watch the files being created one by one. This will download data of multiple scrips at one shot and creates individual files in a format which can be used by many trading softwares I hope.

Help : (Also available in the first page of the software)

About the Downloader :

What does it do ?
Downloads historical data from BSE site and creates scrip wise files in the same directory.

How can I use it?
Enter multiple stocks in Download sheet, and download EOD data from 1991 till date

What is format of data extracted?
The format of the data is Stock Code, OPEN, HIGH, LOW, CLOSE, VOLUME. Most trading softwares have this format. If you want a custom format, please let me know, I will try.

Can I configure the dates?
Not yet. Will come in the next versions. Comon you have data from 1991. You can delete unwanted data can't you?

Will I get password for the source code?
Not yet as per request from jdm to maintain privacy. If 15 people say its not a problem and jdm agrees I am willing to share the password.

How many stocks can I download at one time?
Actually no limit. I have tested for 50 symbols and it took 2 minutes. I would not want to test for 100 stocks but you could. Please don't enter 1500 stocks and expect it to do download in 60 minutes. Afterall it depends on your PC power and internet connection also.

Have you tested it?
Yes to some extent but not on all versions and absolutely no responsibilities for any adverse effects. Use at own risk.

Are the macro's safe?

Yes and I can vouch for it.

Can we ask changes/requests?

Yes and No. No guarantee they will be implemented and no guarantee on the timelines, but I will do my best.

What is the data source ?

BSE India website.

Can I use the PC while this is downloading?

Yes ofcourse. But please do not open new excel files or open created excel files while the macro is running.

I have a MAC or Linux OS can I use it?
I am not sure and please let me know if you used it and it was successful.

STEPS TO USE.

Refer the first sheet.

Please shoot your comments back.

Regards
Satish

Hi! Satish,

The spreadsheet works like a dream.

Just one request ...

Instead of getting separate sheets for "each" symbol, would it be possible
to get separate sheets "date wise" for "all symbols"

Basically, like the EOD bhavcopy that we download everyday. That would be truly valuable. Or am I asking for too much?

Thanks & regards,
Amit

hi satish,

really a pretty small software with beautiful wings. i am late in knowing about the software.

Could any one, well-wisher of satish, tell me - whenever I download data of any scrip, it downloads data upto 01.01.2008 - why ?

krisbangalore · #7 11th January 2008, 07:14 PM

Yes, it downloads only upto 1st Jan 2008
Any reason
