Just wanted to share this gem I came across.
Anyone who needs historical data for different assets classes for back
testing, charting and research understands what a load of work it is.
Well I just tried these guys out and well I'm impressed.=A0 Here is
their free trial...
http://www.ForexTickData.com/eoddatatrials.htm
Global equities, futures, forex etc.=A0 The data is held locally on your
machine in both MetaStock and ASCII and can be used by whatever
charting and analysis package you use.=A0 They also provide free
charting application with the data if you want to use it.=A0 Currently
I'm using Amibroker which they fully support with a plug-in provided
which sets up the databases, categorizes symbols and assigns them to
sectors, industries and indexes.=A0 Best of all equities data goes back
to 1950 including delisted securities, split and non split adjusted
data, as well as corporate actions to eliminate survivorship bias in
research.
Check out there free trial.=A0 No credit card needed.=A0 :O)=A0 Happy
trading and quality research to everyone.
