Jesse: Hi it's me again, in yahoo finance they track foreign currencies. How do I get those tickers into your software. I tried inputing ticker symbol didn't work. Thanks


Sadly, Yahoo does not have the foreign currency historical data. You have to create the price data files yourself.

Here is a link on how to create price data files by yourself for non standard items like forex, commodities and Indian stocks

You just need Microsoft Excel to input data in the file. Please save the file as CSV file.
In Excel, select from the menu, File: save as: and select the file type as CSV type.
