Re: [ConservativeOptionStrategies] download quotes

 

Note that the 50-day and 200-day moving averages you get from Yahoo are not normal ones.  Yahoo bases their data on calendar days instead of trading days.

FinViz also has a nice export tool.  Here is a link to export their technical indicators for MMM and IBM:

http://finviz.com/export.ashx?v=170&t=MMM,IBM

I use my add-in to grab both the Yahoo and FinViz data via user-defined functions in EXCEL.  For example:

=smfGetCSVFile("http://finviz.com/export.ashx?v=170&t=MMM,IBM")
=RCHGetYahooQuotes("MMM,IBM","sl1p2",,,1)
