Hi,

please could anyone tell me a data source for German Stocks on daily basis? Only the components of DAX and TecDAX are required.

The data of the previous day should be downloadable the next day before the German Markets open.

Unfortunately the data for German Markets downloadable via MLDownloader from Yahoo site obviously is not reliable.

Thanks in advance

What does Availability to Pro and Developer mean?

No possibility to download if working with a test version?

1 - Indicates that an extension can be installed in WL Pro (none), Developer (Russian data providers) or Pro+Developer (most all).

2 - No, as per this FAQ: I can't download an Extension: the site says Wealth-Lab extensions are available only to Wealth-Lab Version 6 customers. During evaluation you can download quality EOD data for German stocks using Yahoo! provider.

I created a data set for DAX 30 and updated the data with the data manager. Unfortunately most symbols returned an error like "[7] BMW Error: Der Remoteserver hat einen Fehler zurückgegeben: (404) Nicht gefunden."

I used the suffix .f for Frankfurt stock exchange. Where is my mistake?

Copy and paste this set of symbols for the DataSet that you created, and click "Apply Symbol Changes... " at the bottom of the symbols box. Then click "Update DataSet Pricing".

^GDAXI ADS.DE ALV.DE BAS.DE BAYN.DE BEI.DE BMW.DE CBK.DE CON.DE DAI.DE DB1.DE DBK.DE DPB.DE DPW.DE DTE.DE EOAN.DE FME.DE HEN3.DE IFX.DE LHA.DE LIN.DE MAN.DE MEO.DE MRK.DE MUV2.DE RWE.DE SAP.DE SIE.DE TKA.DE TUI1.DE VOW.DE

Also, when working with Yahoo! EOD, I recommend disabling "Update Data on Demand" (File menu or at bottom right of Data Mgr > Update Data tab).

Do you have the ticker and / or the ISIN code for this list ?
profile picture

Eugene

#17
Alexandre, it's not easy for me to find the trace of ISINs in this case as these particular stocks were involved in M&A activity quite long ago in the 1990s.

Is it part of an index ? If yes, maybe I can find something.

Eugene

Yes, they were members of the German MDAX index in the 1990s - early 2000s. Thanks.

Sorry Eugene, but I don't find it. In the following file, you will see all modifications of the index from 1993.
Maybe, company names were differents.

#21
Thank you Alexandre! This is certainly going to help.

Do you know if the data for delisted symbols in general (marked as "expired" in your PDF I guess) could be downloaded from the platform you're using?
profile picture

abegy

#22
I'm happy to see that I was able to help you. Yes, I can download from my station the historical quotes. Unfortunately, not all expired symbols are available for quotes download.

I know exactly what you want to do with but take care that in Europe, we change our currency to Euro in 01/01/1999. So, historical quotes must be adjusted to take into account that.

As on 10/29/2018 LIN.DE merges with Praxair, we'll reflect the change in W-D. As the share class will be replaced, the LIN.DE stock will contain the new data of "Linde plc" effective 10/29/2018. Prior to this date, the historical data is of "Linde AG".

UPDATE 10/29/2018: Since all the historical data for LIN.DE before today essentially belongs to a different share, in W-D it will be split with 1.54 coefficient to avoid the big opening gap (~€223 to ~€145).

You might have noticed that the daily volume for XETRA traded stocks is missing lately but so it's been even on Deutsche Borse's own website.

UPDATE: Not any more, they fixed it.

Can one of you tell me which data provider is used here, to get the german data - Taipan or Quote Media? Because i don't get any data with Quote Media. Bars: 0

Eugene

#35
It's Wealth-Data. You've signed up for it and it's free for you as a Wealth-Lab Developer customer.

Taipan is unsupported on our website (3rd party), Quotemedia has a different symbol notation. Yahoo! can be used to get the German data too since it supports the same symbol notation but Wealth-Data is far more accurate and offers more historical data.

Above was the final post to the topic documenting changes to *DAX indices. Not that it takes too much resources to "blog" every quarter - it's just that Wealth-Data in Wealth-Lab 7 has become so much more convenient!
