| When you open the program
the first time, you will be directed to the
"Symbol List Wizard" dialog. This wizard helps
you to set up your custom portfolio files. In
order to download data to update your
MetaStock or ASCII directories, you need to
let MLDownloader create “Symbol Lists” for you.
If you do not have any existing MetaStock
directories that should be updated by
MLDownloader, use the option “Use standard
MLDownloader symbol lists”. You will be
redirected to a dialog where you are able to
choose one or more countries you are
interested in.
Afterwards click on the „Next“ button and in
the following dialog click on the „Finish“
button to close the „Symbol List Wizard“. Now
you will see a list containing symbol lists of
the countries that you have selected. |
|
By default the data
will be stored in the subfolders
of C:\MetaStock or C:\ASCII. You are able to
change the root folders in the “Symbol List->Data
Folders” dialog.
To start downloading historical
data click on the “Download->Get Quotes” dialog.
All you have to do is to tick off the “Download
historical data” option and enter a start date.
Click on the “Download historical data” button and
MLDownloader will perform a download containing
all the symbol lists that are listed in the main
window. To
download intraday data click on the "Download->Update
View" menu item or press the "F5" button. The
program will download the latest price data and
will display this data in the main window.
Now any external application is
able to access the data that is stored in the data
folders.
Also take a look at our
tutorials site to see how to use the data with
external applications. |
|
Supported data format: MetaStock
and ASCII files
If you want to
analyse your securities with MetaStock you can store the
quotes in the latest MetaStock format 10.0.
It is also
possible to store the downloaded data in form of
ASCII files. You can change the file format any time by
clicking on the "Download->Options" menu item. In the "Options"
dialog you have to tick off the option "MetaStock format"
and/or "ASCII format", depending on the format that you
want to use. You are completely free to define the format
of the ASCII files. For example you are able to define
that all securities will be stored in one data file.
<DATE>, <SYMBOL>, <CLOSE>, <VOLUME>
20011107,^DJI,4795.63,7893446
20011107,MSFT,27.39,4811072
20011107,NET,16.5,665091
It is up to you
which fields (Open, High, Low, etc.) and which character
you are using as the field delimiter. Therefore all
ASCII files created by MLDownloader can be used in every
program that is able to read/import ASCII files.
It is also very
easy to create an ASCII file containing the data for one
security only:
DATE,OPEN,HIGH,LOW,CLOSE,VOLUME
2006/10/16,28.48,28.60,28.33,28.45,49744800
2006/10/17,28.24,28.51,28.17,28.44,40122600
2006/10/18,28.50,28.70,28.26,28.52,40630800
In the "ASCII File
Format" dialog you are able to define your custom ASCII
file format:

As you can see on the screenshot above,
there are a lot of options to define the output of the
ASCII file. You are free to define the date format, time
format, change to order of any data field and much more.
More details can be found in the MLDownloader manual.
|
 |
Moreover,
MLDownloader provides a lot of pre-defined
formats ASCII. So it is only one click for
you to store the date in TradeStation 2000,
Advanced Get 7.x, SierraChart or Wealth-Lab
format.
Please click
on the "Tutorial" menu to get more
information how to read the ASCII data files
that were created by MLDownloader with these

|

each day. (Once per day when you start
MLDownloader the first time) If a stock
split is queued up or a dividend was
distributed, MLDownloader will
automatically recalculate the whole
stock’s history. So you do not have to
worry about dividends and splits anymore.
You can
also display a dialog with announced/past
splits and perform the split manually. |
|
|
Components of indices will be
updated automatically
| Components of
indices are changing from time to time.
MLDownloader can update all components of more
than 100 stock indices worldwide. (e.g. DOW 30,
NASDAQ 100, DAX 30 etc.)
All you have to do is to click on the "Symbol
List->Update" menu item and tick off the symbol
lists you want to update. Afterwards click on the
"Update lists" button.
You can also start the "Symbol
List Update" dialog using the command line with
following syntax:
"C:\MLDownloader\MLDownloader.exe"

The program will be closed
automatically after the symbol lists were updated
successfully. So you are able to automate the
symbol list update process. |
|
Download attempts can be repeated
easily - Symbol changes can be detected
When the download of one or more
securities failed, the “Download Errors” dialog will be
displayed.

Click on the “Securities->Download
again” menu to retry downloading the securities. Only
the securities were the download failed will be
downloaded again.
Example: If two securities of a symbol
list with 30 symbols failed to download, only these two
securities will be downloaded again. (Not the complete
symbol list!)
If you get an error message “No data
available (Invalid symbol or wrong start end date
specified)” then you should use the “Inspect invalid
symbols” function. If you call this function ("Securities->Inspect
invalid symbols" menu) MLDownloader will connect to the
Yahoo server and checks if the symbol code was changed.
The new symbol code will be displayed and MLDownloader
will update the symbol list with the new symbol code
automatically.
Data downloads can be scheduled
 |
| |
The timer
feature allows you to start MLDownloader
at a specific time. You only have to
define a start time and all symbol
list(s) you want to use, and
MLDownloader will perform the data
download automatically.
MLDownloader will
automatically start an external
application of your choice after you
have auto downloaded your data. This may
assist you in fully automating your
analysis tasks. Moreover, you are able
to specify whether to shut down the
computer or leave MLDownloader opened. |
|
|
Download progress indication
| ML Downloader has a
progress indicator during the download. So you
know exactly what is going on rather than guessing
if the program is complete or still working.
Moreover, you can minimize
ML Downloader while it is downloading data. So you
can work on your computer while the program
downloads the data. You have also the possibility
to pause the data download. |
