BSE Intraday Downlaoder.

Hi
JDM,

1st of all thanks for your great BSE intraday worksheet.

But i just want to know, if it's possible to have intraday data of all individual stocks.

Regards
Punit

hi punit,
yes it is possible, but need to have another worksheet. but since intraday data is available from the ***** group bse-nse2005, the need for further data source is futile.

cheers,
jdm.

Hi

You seem to be a samaritan. Keep up the good work

I am very much interested in technical analysis. However I am a total Novice to this business of techinical analysis. I have downloaded F charts SE from http://www.spacejock.com/FreechartsSE.html

Since there is some learning curve associated with most software, for the moment I'm planning to stick to F charts - unless you have a software to use these intra day data that you have posted ...

For a low level user like me The software is more than good but for backfill, it will only download those symbols where the entire symbol length WITH the .NS suffix is less than 12 characters. So I am stuck without any backfill data for those stock where the TOTAL LENGTH of the symbol with the .NS extension is more than 12 characters - say for e.g. BANNKBARODA.NS

Request : would you know How to solve this problem ? else could you forward my query to any of your friends who can help me solve this problem


Thanks in advance
Best regards

hi vinayak,
couldn't get you properly, but what i could gather,

in case of EOD
***** symbols for NSE scrips are to a max of 9 digit plus the ".NS" suffix. for example "BANKBARODA" will have a ***** code of "BANKBAROD.NS". so downloading EOD prices using the Backfill option from ***** wont be a problem.

in case of Intraday data from BSE-NSE ***** group
the data from the said ***** group is basically designed to run on amibroker (www.amibroker.com) and importing the data, in FCharts, where the ticker length is more than 12 digit is a problem.
you can import the data, whose ticker length is more than 12 digits into excel, and edit the same to suit your needs. a painstaking one but you could automate the process using macro.

hope any other member could through light on this issue.

cheers,
jdm.

Hi JDM,

bse-nse2005 is unable to supply regulary intraday data since last two week. Therefore I request you to please supply Intraday Data Excel Worksheet.

Hi

Thanks for the reply

I just checked the NSE site at for bank of Baroda's symbol
it is BANKBARODA!! and not 9 digits it is 10 digits. With the suffix .Ns it becomes 13 digits and has consistently been blank on my F charts !!!

alternative
-------------------------------
If this is NOT workable are there any OTHER DOWNLOAD SITES THAT I CAN USE with F charts SE ?

are there BSE data available for F charts ? at least BSE has some company numbers and I can use the company numbers


regards

jdm,

Would you know where i can get intraday data for nifty & sensex for the last five years?

hi vinayak,

the nse symbol for bank of baroda is 'bankbaroda' (10chars) only.

the old ***** symbol was 'bob.ns for nse & bob.bo for bse. ***** had the practice of abbreviating all company names to a max of 4 chars at that time and use the exchange suffixes '.ns' for 'nse' & '.bo' for bse.

as many TA software used ***** data, they too adopted the same nomenclature.

the new ***** symbol is 'bankbarod.ns' for nse & '532134.bo' for bse. at this point, ***** took a deviation from the earlier practice. now nse symbol is the first 9 chars of nse symbol followed by the exchange sufffix. ***** had the limitation of 12 chars for the entire symbol, out of which 3 (example '.ns' ) are reserved for exchange and what remains is 9 chars.

for bse, they have shifted to the bse numerical symbol followed by the exchange code.

there is nothing special about the symbol. it is just a abbreviation/shortcut to a company name. then which one should one use? well, the answer is anyone, consistently the same. once you select the data source for eod & intraday, the choices are fixed by the source. for obvious reasons, you would like to have the same symbol for eod data & intraday data.

***** is still a popular intraday data source. you have more intraday data retreival software based on ***** data than other sources/ formats. and nse & bse sites are the natural & reliable data sources. so eod data download/ convertion utilities prefer to get eod data from the exchanges & convert the symbols to ***** format & the data format will be as required by the TA software.

TA software has the ability to get from within the program to get & display the data/ chart for the selected stock. for this reason it will be better that all symbols may be based on *****'s current symbols standard.

coming to your question of selecting the data source for FCharts, you may use the various downloader/ converters provided within the forum.

by this way you have the ability to choose the format & download for the period required by you. if your hard disc data is corrupted for any reason, you may download it again. and everything is within your control.

all the best.

hi moneypick,

yeah man, i am aware of the bse-nse2005 problem.

i am working on a worksheet that will provide intraday data for bse stocks also, although a very rudimentary one. will release it soon.

cheers,
jdm.

sorry murcus, don't have any idea, but by the way thats a hell lot of data.

the backup site for the bse-nse2005 group does have some backfill, hope this helps you.
