now only 3 alternatives
- either pull terminal data
- ask a friend to share data
- use paid service
Maybe OR Maybe not.......
Had the Backfill from NEST been not so '
moody', there would've been no call for an alternate '
quick backfill'
Was a bit surprised to discover a lack of responses/ suggestions to this post of mine

especially considering the
web crawling abilities of the members of this forum!!!
You guys appear to be simply not exercising your minds!!!
Anyway, ...... there
are alternatives ......
You can download intraday data from AlphaVantage - Search for it on the net and you'll find it - AND also find the '
how to' process
Some cons ......
- Slower
feed speed than what I would've preferred
- The people from AlphaVantage are fairly
tight lipped about the source of this data. However, since the tickers are akin to Yahoo its a fair bet that the data may well turn out to be from Yahoo itself. The (not so small) advantage is that the data is clean and filtered!!!
You could also think of pulling data from investing.com - which actually takes its data from TradingView in turn
Some cons ........
- Different symbology
- Does not provide volume information for 1 minute data
- At times, the data is not as accurate as one would like it to be
- Deliberately provides data in a form for which the logic provided in my previous post is required for filtering!
Then there's always the good ol' Yahoo!!!
Some cons however ......
- Accuracy could be lacking (haven't checked this out for myself yet, though)
- Different symbology
- Deliberate attempt at obfuscation (hopefully friend
@achalmeena would be wiser by now) by inserting numerals and duplicate ticks (can't blame them though because no one wants
stress on their bandwidth by hordes of
freeloaders )
Winding up the illustrative examples with some
food for thought. There
are sites out there which can be utilized. Seek and Ye shall Find!!
You can post your findings - who knows ...... somebody may just end up coding a compatible utility
Lets See!!!
Cheerio!!!
