Drawbacks of other historical data sources:
- Many sources of historical data such as Yahoo Finance
only allow you to download a very limited number of
symbols at once. To attempt to gather years of historical
stock data in this fashion is prohibitively time consuming.
- Other sources will allow you to buy historical data
for thousands of ticker symbols but the data will
often reside in thousands of separate excel spreadsheets
or comma separated files (ascii format). The data
from these sources needs to be combined and/or imported
if one is desirous of organizing it in a fashion which
lends itself to complex analysis such as in a relational
database or data warehouse. Opening up thousands of
individual spreadsheets to look for data is highly
impractical while attempting to open a large ascii
file in Excel can be difficult or impossible depending
on the size of the file, the speed of the computer,
or the version of Excel.
- Data which is contained in Metastock, Telechart, Quicken,
.PRN-format or other proprietary programs are often
very difficult to cleanly export to ascii (.txt or .csv).
Unusual characters, spaces, varying date formats, and
misaligned data is often a problem. |
