FANTASTIC NEWS FOR BOTH SHAREFRIEND PRO AND METASTOCK USERS.
- As from today your share prices can be updated with the most recent prices no less than 10 TIMES A DAY
- Our first price file is, as usual, available shortly after 06h00.
- This file has the previous day confirmed JSE closing prices, Futures, Warrants, Unit Trusts, International Indices and Currencies.
- The next files are available shortly after 10h00 in the morning and at hourly intervals thereafter.
- These hourly files contain the most recent prices for shares traded on the JSE and local indices as well as a few Currencies, International Indices and precious metal prices.
- Our last hourly file is available shortly after 17h00.
- It is important to note that the hourly files only contain indicators with price changes since the last price change.
- Therefore, if a share has not traded since the previous day's close there is nothing to update and such shares are not included in the hourly files.
- The hourly service is only for those indicators mentioned above and excludes Futures, Warrants and Unit Trusts.
- The final and last file with confirmed prices for the day is, subject to unforeseen circumstances, available shortly after 20h00.
- If you do not need Futures or Warrants prices you can use our 17h00 file for your market studies but you should bear in mind that the prices contained in this file are unconfirmed and some of them may change slightly after the JSE has copmpleted their final runs for the day.
- To ensure that your entire database is kept up-to-date it is essential to do one download with the PDSNET Data Centre once a day either in the evening after 20h00 or first thing in the morning before 10h00.
- In order to start using this fantastic new service of ours, you need to install a small self extracting program that can be downloaded from our web site.
- This program can be set to automatically download your data throughout the day or you can use it whenever it suits you.
- The final bit of good news is that we have decided to absorb the cost of providing this new service, with the result that all ShareFriend Pro and MetaStock clients will be able to use the hourly data updates entirely FREE OF CHARGE.
