: Hi - I am noticing a disturbing number of discrepencies with prices set to retrieve fro the Yahoo NZX&ASX server even many hours after close of trading some prices are exactly right but some on the same exchange are as much as 15 cents out on an 80 cent share!
: Even weirder is fact that viewing same prices online on the Yahoo website itself gives the correct prices - so the errors appear to lie somewhere in the FM7 beta 2 downloading/retrieval process, or in the reporting process.

: The prices concerned are not marked with a *, and are not currency adjusted or scaled, so I am struggling to identify an obvious cause

: Would appreciate any thoughts!

: Cheers

Hi Paul,

What if you also do the retrieve in FM 6 at the same time? Do you get the
same problem? This quote server should not have changed between 6 and 7.

Where are you viewing the price? "Edit / All Data..." with the "Prices"
data type selected is a good place to verify the actual recorded price.

Can you give me an example symbol to try and reproduce the problem here?

Also, to help debug it, there is a file called "intlog2.txt" left in your
FM folder after a retrieve. If I can't reproduce it, you could send
me that file, along with details on what price was retrieved in error.

Thanks,
Mark
