Do I have to wait until the stock market closes before I can start with downloading?
No, you can download quotes 24 hours a day. Historical quotes are available at any time. If you download the latest quotes (‘Today’) while the market is still open, you’ll get the latest available intraday quotes. By using separate download lists for each exchange, you’ll have a good overview of what you’re downloading.
How do I add a new share to a download list?
Very simple. You search and find the fund you want to add and write down the corresponding code. The code may differ from one download source to another, but U.S. funds do not differ. In QuoteStocker, open the ‘Edit Download List‘ screen and choose the download list you want to expand. Then type the code in the code text field. Furthermore, type another name in the text field next to it (you are free to choose your own name) and click on the ‘Add’ button. You can download the quotes immediately.

Yes, it is very easy to make your own settings to match your technical analysis software package. In the settings window you can directly see the format in which the files are saved.
I want to download historical quotes, but I get a message that nothing is being downloaded. Why is that?
The historical quotes are not always available, it can also depend on your subscription with your account. Try downloading the quotes for a shorter period, for example the last 3 months. Often this works and then you can find out exactly for which period the quotes exist.
I don’t have any technical analysis software yet. Can you recommend one?
There are many technical analysis software packages available. There is freeware like StockVisor to packages that cost hundreds of dollars. Often the more expensive packages have a paid subscription for quote data. With QuoteStocker you don’t have any recurring costs. You just pay once for a lifetime license and you are free to download what you want, when you want.
