- dsacco 9y agoIf your data doesn't need to operate on an intraday scale, you can get perfectly accurate real time or historical data for free just by using a reputable broker like Interactive Brokers. At that point there's no need to buy the data on ebay, so I still don't understand why you ever would.
- SirLJ 9y agoActually I have checked IB API and it is very restrictive, e.g. you cannot request let say all daily data for all symbols for 2007 for example or even for one day for that matter...
- lz400 9y agoAs far as I understand historical daily data is easy to get from yahoo, google, etc. Data is only difficult to find/expensive when you need tick data.
