Would you prefer to try QuoteStocker first? Of course you can: download the free version QuoteStocker Free (zip file).
There is also a special version for Mac computers. QuoteStocker then runs via CrossOver (until release 17.5.1) from CodeWeavers. You can read about the installation here (in Dutch). At the bottom of this page is a brief summary of the installation on a Mac.
You can use QuoteStocker Free for two weeks. The only limitation you have is that you can download a maximum of 30 funds per day. This is more than enough to get a good idea of all the features of the program. After these two weeks the operation stops automatically.
Settings
After installing QuoteStocker, some settings need to be made. Most are automatically correct but the following are important:
- Selection of the folder where the downloaded (and converted) files are saved.
- Indicate in which format (e.g. which date format) the quotes should be converted. Besides your own choice, there are 18 different quick preselections.
- Entering one or more so-called API keys. Without a (free) account at one of the four download sources QuoteStocker will not work.
Installation on a Mac
Installing of QuoteStocker on a Mac is as follows:
- Make sure you have CrossOver (up to release 17.5.1) from CodeWeavers on your Mac;
