Importing Data from Quotes Plus

Quotes Plus is an Internet-based service which provides market data to subscribers of their service.

TradingSolutions can download end-of-day historical data over the Internet through Quotes Plus. This allows you to keep all of the data in your portfolio up-to-date with the push of a few buttons.

Configuring TradingSolutions to Use Quotes Plus

Quotes Plus is defined as a "data source" in TradingSolutions. Quotes Plus requires you to sign up for an account in order to access data from its service. Although this account has a username and password associated with it, TradingSolutions does not access your account directly, so it does not need to be made aware of these values.

You can sign up for a Quotes Plus account on the web. Special pricing may be available for TradingSolutions users. To see what deals are available and/or sign up, please visit the Data Sources section of the TradingSolutions website or jump straight there from the Configure Data Sources Dialog.

&  For help signing up for and configuring data sources, see Configuring Data Sources.

TradingSolutions does not contact Quotes Plus directly. Instead, it reads information from the database of stock information which Quotes Plus stores on your computer.

If TradingSolutions detects that the Quotes Plus database appears to be missing the most recent information for the data being downloaded, it will try to invoke the Quotes Plus Downloader to update the database with the most recent information. The Downloader may take several minutes to download information and verify all available information has been downloaded.
