I am a small time trader who started recently. In my quest to understand the markets, I started digging deeper into technical analysis. For that, data was needed, both Real time and End of Day. EOD is available in many ways, NSE, BSE, Yahoo, etc. With the aid of some softwares like Shareguru, TDI, Databull, Getbavcopy, you can download them from the internet. But when it comes to real time data(NSE), its almost always paid services. And there are not many independent vendors available. After some time, I came to realise that, Yahoo Finance is giving real time data for NSE and delayed data (15min) for BSE. Some other international exchanges are also supported by Yahoo with real time data. For the list of exchanges see here
http://finance.yahoo.com/exchangesSo I started developing a software to fetch the real time data from Yahoo finance. The purpose is many fold and will be done in stages:
Stage 1: Ticker only
Stage 2: Ticker and data sent to Amibroker
Stage 3: Ticker and Charting for Intraday
stage 4: Ticker and charting with Technical Analysis for Intraday
Stage 5: Ticker, charting, TA for Intraday and EOD.
Right now, the software is in Stage 1 and ready for testing for people who are interested. Please drop a
mail to get the download and test it. The software is free to download and use. All I ask you in return is your comments on the usage and any improvements that you may wish.
Good luck!
