AmiQuote

AmiQuote is a handy tool that helps you keep track of stock data for AmiBroker. If you're into the online world of finance, you'll want to stay updated on stock market changes, right? Well, AmiQuote makes this super easy!

What You Need to Know About AmiQuote

First off, if you already have AmiBroker, you're in luck! AmiQuote is included with it, so there's no need to download it separately. However, if you want to use AmiQuote as a standalone tool, that’s cool too—but you will need AmiBroker installed on your computer. Otherwise, the downloaded stock data won't be very useful.

User-Friendly Interface

The interface of AmiQuote is pretty intuitive. Most of the screen is dedicated to viewing and adding tickers (that's just a fancy term for stock symbols). At the top, you'll find a toolbar filled with all the functions you need. You can manually add tickers one at a time or automate updates to your AmiBroker database by downloading all stock tickers in one go!

Selecting Your Data Source

One great feature is choosing where your data comes from. There’s a drop-down menu that lets you pick sources like Yahoo! Historical data or Google Finance—just to name a few! You can also set the date range for the stock data you want to download and decide if you want it imported automatically when it's done.

Getting Detailed Information

If you're curious about a ticker's details, just double-click on it and it will pop up in Notepad. Plus, you get to choose which tickers you'd like to keep and process further. There's even a handy tool for translating symbols!

Wrap-Up: Is It Worth It?

To sum things up: while AmiQuote isn't super helpful as a standalone program on its own, it works perfectly when paired with AmiBroker. It gives you an effortless way of downloading and updating ticker info for your project database without breaking a sweat! If you're ready to give it a try, check out AmiQuote here!
