Hi there,
I have been extracting some trust data from good old Yahoo Finance to do some experiments. I appreciate that its free and naturally is not as reliable as premium data providers.
On a whole I have found data for FTSE 100 to be OK, but for trusts I have a problem.
Yahoo occasionally reports incorrect open, high, low, close for some days. These days have zero volume, How bizarre.
For example:
EWI Daily Close
Date open High Low Close Volume
02/01/2020 00:00:00197199.276001195.300003198.399994476947
03/01/2020 00:00:00195.699997198.703995192.593002195.199997292052
06/01/2020 00:00:00197197192.309006194.399994442795
07/01/2020 00:00:00195.899994196.899994194196.399994381589
08/01/2020 00:00:00197197192.792999196.600006922356
09/01/2020 00:00:00197.899994199195.5199696499
10/01/2020 00:00:001.96111.96111.96111.96110
13/01/2020 00:00:001.99491.99491.99491.99490
14/01/2020 00:00:002.00082.00082.00082.00080
So from above last 3 days data seems to have gone AWOL.
I have checked their own chart too to confirm that the problem is not my side.
Any thoughts or experience of using Yahoo would be most welcome!
