You have to get the historical data from another source, like AlphaVantage or EOD, or from your broker. Stooq is currently not delivering data for direct download, not even with an API key. We have already looked for a free alternative, but found none. If anyone knows a free and daily updated source for D1 data, please let us know.
@jcl How can this be done using the Z9 system? I've been using Z9 for quite some time and now need to rebalance but obviously the Stooq mechanism no longer works properly.
Edit the asset list and remove the "!STOOQ:..." part from the symbol. Then load the recent asset histories in D1 format from your broker or another source, and put them in the History folder. Then run Z8 or Z9 as usual.
I am trying to run Z9 after updating Zorro S to the latest 3.11.12 version.
Because my IBKR account does not currently have US ETF real-time streaming market data (due geo restriction), I updated the Z9 history files from EODHD instead. This part now seems to work.
But when I start Z9 Trade, the log shows some symbols that are not in my current AssetsZ9.csv, for example AMZN and AOK: ``` Loading 16 assets.. NY time 13:42 !Requested market data requires additional subscription for API. See link in 'Market Data Connections' dialog for more details.AGG ARCA/TOP/ALL AGG-STK--0.00--SMART/--USD !The contract description specified for AGG is ambiguous; you must specify the currency. AGG-STK--0.00--SMART/-- !Requested market data requires additional subscription for API. See link in 'Market Data Connections' dialog for more details.AMZN NASDAQ.NMS/TOP/ALL AMZN-STK--0.00--SMART/--USD !The contract description specified for AMZN is ambiguous; you must specify the currency. AMZN-STK--0.00--SMART/-- !Requested market data requires additional subscription for API. See link in 'Market Data Connections' dialog for more details.AOK ARCA/TOP/ALL AOK-STK--0.00--SMART/--USD `` So I have questions:
1. Which asset list does Z9 Trade actually load? I expected it to use my current History/AssetsZ9.csv, but the log suggests that another asset list or cached list is being used.
2. Is there a generated/cache file that I should delete after replacing AssetsZ9.csv or after updating history files? For example, does Z9 use another internal list, optimized list, .fac/.par/.c/.trd file, or something generated by Z8/Z9?
I understand that the “Requested market data requires additional subscription for API” message is probably expected. But I was previously sucesfuly Trade with Z9 without live quote subscription. My main confusion is why Z9 Trade loads symbols that are not in my current AssetsZ9.csv, and whether there is a proper cleanup/rebuild step after updating the asset list and history.
Yes, it used the Z8 asset list. We have changed it, so it's now using the correct Z9 list. If you want a specific list, you can give it in a z9.ini file. There is no cache for assets.
