Hi Tomasz,
Is there a list of all US stocks etc that we can populate / create a new database and use Stooq to update?
Anthony
@Anthony something similar was covered in previous threads; start from here and explore the additional links.
Stooq requires a .US suffix after each USA listed symbol.
If you use the AmiBroker symbol list tool, before using AmiQuote, you must add to each symbol a .US suffix using some code similar to the one explained in this KB article.
Otherwise, when you have downloaded your lists in text files you'll need to edit them with a text editor - ideally with macro recording functionality or directly in Excel if you got the list in .csv format - to add to each symbol the .US suffix (and, if required, to remove any extra data: you need only one ticker per line).
Then save the file with all the symbols as a .tls file, create a new empty EOD data in AmiBroker, and finally load and run the list in AmiQuote with auto-import enabled to create the tickers directly and, at the same time, import the downloaded data in the new database.

Thank you @beppe, I figured to download the csv files from Nasdaq.com for the exchanges and edit them in excel.

For US stocks there is automatic way to get quotes, not from Stooq, but from Yahoo. Yahoo is faster than Stooq.
Tools->Update US symbol list and categories (this updates symbol lists with all US symbols)
and then
Tools->Auto update quotes (this updates quotes)

Thanks Tomasz, I am trying alternate sources. Stooq has daily limit as to number of requests so unable to download entire database. I have signed up with Tiingo. I will give them a try.
What about Futures ? any sources ?
