JamesR![]() Posts: 216 Joined: 10/4/2008 Location: Gloucestershire, England, UK ![]() | I have just upgraded to OT2018 but need UK EOD Data. I subscribe to Reuters (Metastock) EOD data but cannot seem to get that to load into OT - I am sure it used to!! It looks as though Metastock may have changed the format - does anyone know if it is now possible to get the MS data (using the downloader) and use that in OT - if not, where can I get UK EOD Data from? Many thanks James | |

It provides Metastock compatible data and CSV conversion functionality as well. The Metastock compatible data runs perfectly with OT 2014 (my preferred system) and my Metastock V11 version application Website: http://www.eztradingclub.com/products.htm EZQuote, version 2.02.000 (the full version) I could not figure out if the tool automatically replaces old symbols by new ones, also it provide this functionality. Cost 89 USD lifetime licence I hope it can help you Wolfgang | |

JamesR![]() Posts: 216 Joined: 10/4/2008 Location: Gloucestershire, England, UK ![]() | Wolfgang, Many thanks for the information - I had a look and it seems to do the job but I was a bit concerned that it only claimed to run on Windows versions up to 8. I am all on windows 10 at the moment. I have now subscribed to EOD Data at EODData.com. The Silver subscription gives access to the whole LSE. It downloads on a scheduler each day and, if I choose Metastock Binary as the format, OT reads that with no issues. As there is currently (maybe always!!) a 50% discount there at the moment, I purchased 10 years of historic data for the whole LSE for $25. The only issue I have at the moment is getting some (don't need it all) of that historic data into OT. EOD Data supply a conversion utility but I don't want to have to convert each day of data individually for a year. I have also found that the symbol structure is different in the historic data to the current data (the historic data has a .L on the end to denote LSE and the current data doesn't) so the two do not merge but show as separate signals - have asked EODData for assistance with this and will report back when I have a solution. Will be in a couple of weeks as about to go on holiday!! | |

Metastock got back to me and supplied the original version of their download tool - this allows me to download in the original .dat file format which OT reads OK. So all now working and MS supplies the historic data by default. So I Guess I wasted a few $/£ with EODData, but at least I am up and running! | |

Update of symbols. You get most Symbols and international Indices based on the Status of 2017/2018. You Need to update it manually. Just ask EZQuote for a Trial Version so you can test if it meets your requirements. |
