Hello,

This is not rubbish if you were to have read the Announcement forum before making such comments here!

Hello,

Is there a script or program or method to take latest list of script codes in Yahoo. Especially, new scripts are getting added almost the other week.

Thanks in advance.

Hi John

Thanks for the lists. I created the list of securites with the new symbols. Then I tried to download the Historical data form Yahoo site. I am using Hyper Trader's Plugin for downloading data form yahoo directing using Metastock Downloader. But the programme downloaded History of few stocks only. Is it that Yahoo is providing History for selected stocks only....or... any problem with the plugin. Any Idea?

Hi Karthik,

Yahoo does not provide historical quotes for NSE any more, I am not sure if they provide for BSE or not?

Hi wastej

Yahoo has resumed providing Historical Data for selected stocks.. for example try the following link for historical data of ABB
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=ABB.NS.

For most of the NSE shares they have three months data. But for selected shares they are providing data from 2002/2003. They have historical data for very few BSE shares.
