It looks like the Yahoo EOD data for subject line date is just WRONG. How do I fix that?
Example CCL closed at 68.52 on 1/16, NOT 69.40 like the downloader provides. It appears the downloader may have used the OPEN price in the CLOSE price as well. Symbol ARW is similar and many
or all others.
Hi, this is the downloader description and it's dated 7/24/2010 12:00AM
Yahoo finance provides historical EOD data for several markets including US exchanges (NYSE, NASDAQ, OTCBB, Pink Sheets), EURONEXT exchanges, Sao Paulo Stock Exchange, National Stock Exchange, Bombay Stock Exchange... Traders may use this item to retrieve EOD data for all stocks listed on one of the exchanges that are supported by Yahoo.
The difference between this yahoo downloader and the Yahoo EOD historical quotes, is in the way quotes on empty volume days are handled. For illiquid stocks, the reported historical quotes on trading days with no volume are often erratic. The script I have included detect days where no trading activity occurred; it then updates the open, high, low and close fields with the previous day data. The result produced by this script is much cleaner.
How do I add an image file for the screenshot into this post? It won't let me add an object unless I select one and I can't just paste the JPG of screenshot into the 'add objects' box.
The "Historical Stock Market Data" is working as expected as said in previous email. The CCL closed at 68.52 on that date.
If you see something different, please debug the downloader and see the data downloaded. You can send us a screenshot via email if you want.

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you.

The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose.
