Getting Started with MLDownloader

Click image to enlarge

When you open the program the first time, you will be directed to the "Symbol List Wizard" dialog. This wizard helps you to set up your custom portfolio files. In order to download data to update your MetaStock or ASCII directories, you need to let MLDownloader create “Symbol Lists” for you. If you do not have any existing MetaStock directories that should be updated by MLDownloader, use the option “Use standard MLDownloader symbol lists”. You will be redirected to a dialog where you are able to choose one or more countries you are interested in. Afterwards click on the „Next“ button and in the following dialog click on the „Finish“ button to close the „Symbol List Wizard“. Now you will see a list containing symbol lists of the countries that you have selected.

By default the data will be stored in the subfolders
of C:\MetaStock or C:\ASCII. You are able to
change the root folders in the “Symbol List->Data Folders” dialog. To start downloading historical data click on the “Download->Get Quotes” dialog. All you have to do is to tick off the “Download historical data” option and enter a start date. Click on the “Download historical data” button and MLDownloader will perform a download containing all the symbol lists that are listed in the main window. To
download intraday data click on the "Download->Update View" menu item or press the "F5" button. The program will download the latest price data and will display this data in the main window.
Now any external application is able to access the data that is stored in the data folders.

Supported data format: MetaStock and ASCII files
If you want to analyse your securities with MetaStock you can store the quotes in the latest MetaStock format 10.0. It is also possible to store the downloaded data in form of ASCII files. You can change the file format any time by clicking on the "Download->Options" menu item. In the "Options" dialog you have to tick off the option "MetaStock format" and/or "ASCII format", depending on the format that you want to use. You are completely free to define the format of the ASCII files. For example you are able to define that all securities will be stored in one data file.
<DATE>, <SYMBOL>, <CLOSE>, <VOLUME>
20011107,^DJI,4795.63,7893446
20011107,MSFT,27.39,4811072
20011107,NET,16.5,665091
It is up to you which fields (Open, High, Low, etc.) and which character you are using as the field delimiter. Therefore all ASCII files created by MLDownloader can be used in every program that is able to read/import ASCII files.
It is also very easy to create an ASCII file containing the data for one security only:
DATE,OPEN,HIGH,LOW,CLOSE,VOLUME
2006/10/16,28.48,28.60,28.33,28.45,49744800
2006/10/17,28.24,28.51,28.17,28.44,40122600
2006/10/18,28.50,28.70,28.26,28.52,40630800
In the "ASCII File Format" dialog you are able to define your custom ASCII file format:

As you can see on the screenshot above, there are a lot of options to define the output of the ASCII file. You are free to define the date format, time format, change to order of any data field and much more. More details can be found in the MLDownloader manual.

Moreover, MLDownloader provides a lot of pre-defined formats ASCII. So it is only one click for you to store the date in TradeStation 2000, Advanced Get 7.x, SierraChart or Wealth-Lab format.

Please click on the "Tutorial" menu to get more information how to read the ASCII data files that were created by MLDownloader with these applications.

MetaStock format - Supported versions: 6.52, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0

MLDownloader supports the old MetaStock format (255 symbols per directory, 6.52) as well as the new MetaStock format. (6000 symbols per directory, 8.X or higher) Moreover, you can create MetaStock data files containing 5 data fields only. (Date, High, Low, Close, Volume) Some old chart programs can only read MetaStock files having 5 data fields.
To make changes on the Metastock format, click on the "Download->Options" menu. Afterwards click on the "Change" button. The "MetaStock Format Options" dialog will appear.

Stock splits and dividend distributions are reported

MLDownloader checks for stock splits and delivered dividends (US stocks only) each day. (Once per day when you start MLDownloader the first time) If a stock split is queued up or a dividend was distributed, MLDownloader will automatically recalculate the whole stock’s history. So you do not have to worry about dividends and splits anymore.

You can also display a dialog with announced/past splits and perform the split manually.

Components of indices will be updated automatically
Components of indices are changing from time to time. MLDownloader can update all components of more than 100 stock indices worldwide. (e.g. DOW 30, NASDAQ 100, DAX 30 etc.) All you have to do is to click on the "Symbol List->Update" menu item and tick off the symbol lists you want to update. Afterwards click on the "Update lists" button.
You can also start the "Symbol List Update" dialog using the command line with following syntax:
"C:\MLDownloader\MLDownloader.exe" –UpdateSL
The program will be closed automatically after the symbol lists were updated successfully. So you are able to automate the symbol list update process.

Download attempts can be repeated easily - Symbol changes can be detected
When the download of one or more securities failed, the “Download Errors” dialog will be displayed.

Click on the “Securities->Download again” menu to retry downloading the securities. Only the securities were the download failed will be downloaded again.
Example: If two securities of a symbol list with 30 symbols failed to download, only these two securities will be downloaded again. (Not the complete symbol list!)
If you get an error message “No data available (Invalid symbol or wrong start end date specified)” then you should use the “Inspect invalid symbols” function. If you call this function ("Securities->Inspect invalid symbols" menu) MLDownloader will connect to the Yahoo server and checks if the symbol code was changed. The new symbol code will be displayed and MLDownloader will update the symbol list with the new symbol code automatically.
Data downloads can be scheduled

The timer feature allows you to start MLDownloader at a specific time. You only have to define a start time and all symbol list(s) you want to use, and MLDownloader will perform the data download automatically. MLDownloader will automatically start an external application of your choice after you have auto downloaded your data. This may assist you in fully automating your analysis tasks. Moreover, you are able to specify whether to shut down the computer or leave MLDownloader opened.

Download progress indication
ML Downloader has a progress indicator during the download. So you know exactly what is going on rather than guessing if the program is complete or still working. Moreover, you can minimize ML Downloader while it is downloading data. So you can work on your computer while the program downloads the data. You have also the possibility to pause the data download.

Historical data is available from over 50 international exchanges

In the last couple of years MLDownloader won a lot of awards. Below are listed a few of them.

Working Proof....

As MLDownloader is not a problem child anymore ,..!!

[JoeDOM_Admin]

Thanks for your working proof, but have you tested it for an extended period of time ?

I remember in the past thatthis program had he tendency to perform server checks after certain amount of time and disable the software completely once it discovered it was not genuine.
Does this copy of MLDownloader behave this way ?

I'm not sure after upgrading it works or not. but without upgrading it to newer version, It is working hassle free. Feel free to test it do add W$ to me only if it works fine. for me IT IS WORKING.

May be with this version u might not get some formats of data feeds like Wealth Lab 4 or so , but normal formats of Metastock, ASCII, Sierracharts are easily supported. TESTED and WORKS Perfectly.

[HIDE]And Joe, If its working perfectly hassle free then The cost must not be just as low as u kept, coz problem children are having 1000+ w$ to buy.[/HIDE]

M@F!A

[JoeDOM_Admin]

What you mean by problem children ?

We currently have MLDownloader 7.x and it costs around 1700 to 1900.

I cannot award something older for more than the newer one, because member will feel cheated.

[mtusd]

I didnt mean to say that u award me higher sir ,..

I dont even mind if u set w$100 for it. I thought other versions r having some bug in server check and they need to be cracked again n again. so i said its not a PROBLEM CHILD. Hope ur not getting it in wrong sense.

About cost u set 300 W$ so i said that should be atleast near 1k w$ for this version.

Didnt intend to cheat on anyone.

[JoeDOM_Admin]

I cannot raise its cost to 1000 without awarding you the 1.5X, I need to follow rules, unlike other forums that do not follow rules or start selling stuff for cash.

Ok, now its cost is set to 1000 you got your 1500.
