{quote} note that it takes the data from the U.S. yahoo finance website so if the symbol is from another country you may need to add the country code.

Hi nlenz

Can you please tell how to change or add the country code? I need data from NIFTY 50 (^NSEI) -NSE .

I tried to add "GICHSGFIN.NS" by adding as you mentioned in the previous post but data is not loading. It shows the symbol in the offline chart. Its working fine for some symbols.

Hi there,

I tried a few symbols too, like PRAKASHCON.BO or PRAKASHCON.NS and they didn't show on their offline charts either.

Could be the symbols that the script accept are limited to a certain number of characters, because the stock symbols in India seem to be longer than in other countries.

I'll see if I can change that.

This is a very useful script using in 1010. But is it available for intraday stock data? If some how it is possible to load intraday data like for 5 Minutes or 15 Minutes chart, then it will be very very helpful.

Hi,
I'm glad you like it. I tried in the past to modify it to show other timeframes (intraday) and it wasn't possible for me to program, sorry.

Hi thank you for your prompt reply. I have a code where we can fetch intraday data from google finance for fetching real time data. The code stopped working for 1010 build because .class variable. If you can fix it then we can use the code.

I found it from a blog. Attaching the expert file.

Hi,
Sorry for my late reply, I saw your request just now.
Thank you for the indicator you posted.
Here is the fixed and slightly modified file, I haven't tested it in real time yet, because the market is closed now. It does generate the files. One of the changes is that the ticker STER doesn't show historical quotes so I changed it to NIFTY.

I heard somewhere where Yahoo has changed their data format. Not sure this is true but LoadStockDataWithAdj is no longer pulling in data. It was working fine a couple of weeks ago.

Sorry, i don't know how to fix it this time.

Hello, I used this address to retrieve historical data from Yahoo,

https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/...mb=s/MxyJ9V52c

The "crumb" part is a cookie. It doesn't seem to be a session cookie, so as long as you log in to yahoo once and you don't delete your cookies, it should work for a year. I am no expert. If it is of any use to anybody, I would be glad to see the above mentioned scripts restored.

I've written a Windows program that creates HST files from CSV files. Based on the file format I found at https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/149178.
When I open offline the newly created HST file NT4 says its WAITING for update.

I have compared my HST file to an HST file created by your script and I do not see an obvious difference (other than your script uses 44 bytes instead of 60 for the Rate record). Do you have any idea why I am getting this message?

If I can get this program working then I would like to make it available to users on this thread. Since it's a Windows program it can convert any CSV to HST from any available data source.

Hello,
Thank you for letting me know. I still can't figure out what to do with the crumb (If it is changed, like your link on my PC, it will show an error that the cookie is wrong). Only possible way is for every person to visit the yahoo download link and copy the crumb part into the code once, or into the script's settings in a string variable every time they use the script. And the periods are Unix seconds since the year 1970. That's all I know.
