lovely vid :D so how do i use it for the indian market? the market name is bse (bombay stock exchange)

[lordbinder]

@gengarjetty you just have to add your tickers, find the correct one in yahoo and then add the tickers in the NT software, after that when you connect to yahoo the charts will be updated

Hello lordbinder, I have problems using yahoo data feed. When I download one historic price of Mercado continuo (spain) I see that the values are not real prices. Why does it happend? How can I obtain real prices? The prices are approximately real, but I need the real prices. Thanks

Hi, yahoo will give you data accurately up until last day close, the last bar is simulated with delayed data, you encounter the problem on the last bar? if so that the issue.

If you encounter the problem in the historic data, is because you have to adjust divs and splits, check I made a video about it. by the way im from argentina you can write in spanish. Nos vemos

Hm, I did everything you did but it didn't work. I've got connected to yahoo but when I tried to create chart it didn't give me yahoo option. Just the usual things - SP500, NSDAQ, DOW...

is it because I've demo version?

I thought ninja doesn't limit you in options as long as it is simulation :S

Hola, el problema creo que no es de ajuste de dividendos. Lo que pasa es que no me pinta la barra del día anterior. P. ej. hoy día 4, me dibuja todo, excepto la barra del día 3. Ayer, día 3, no me dibujaba la barra del día 2 (hoy si me la dibuja). Como solucionar esto? Quizá haciendo que grabe los datos en la base de datos manteniendo abierta la ventana MarketAnalizer? Lo hago, pero no consigo que me pinte la barra de ayer. Tienes alguna idea? Gracias

Check the video on adding new tickers, when you add the ticker for in the yahoo option of the symbol map you have to add the symbol ^ but you dont have to add it in the name of the ticker.

So youll Add GSPC or SP500 and then in symbol mal section yahoo you put ^GSPC

Let me know if it works for you
