    Default Incredible Charts

    Hi,

    I have downloaded Incredible Charts and I have noticed the closing prices are a day behind for NZ stocks. Will this change if I pay for the premium service? Or will I have to put up with it.

    Thanks

    Hi,4, the free service is a day old. The premium service updates evry hour during trading and will cost you $AUD 18.00/month

    NZ quotes are sourced from yahoo from memory. So it will always be a couple of days old at least.

    IncredibleCharts does use Yahoo NZ historical data - today this only goes up to May 21 - that's 4 days ago. Pretty useless, really. Yahoo charts are a little more up-to-date in that they are usually just 1 day behind. Right now, the most recent NZ daily chart available on Yahoo is from yesterday. Yahoo quotes are delayed by about 20 minutes.

    I know that IncredibleCharts claim that their Aus charts are updated hourly, but in practice this doesn't always happen and in fact the charts are behind the market.

    In spite of not always meeting their advertised claims, at less than NZ$18/month, Incrediblecharts nevertheless offers excellent value for money.

    Thanks Phaedrus , Have just bought 'Technical Analysis Explained' by Pring so I am hoping to get my head around this TA stuff by looking at real life charts. Cheers

    Using incredible charts I can get the company data but I can't seem to get any data for the NZX50 or other NZ indexes. Can anyone help with this.

    Hi Aaron, can not help with other indexes (I had a go this morning but could not figure it out).
    However I have been using the NZX50 index for a well. Code I use is nz50_ix on the world index.
