Downloader Description

The Downloader Trend Following investing Tool is used by Examiner and Predictor to get historical prices on individual stocks.

The open, high, low and closing prices of nearly every security traded on the US stock exchanges are updated every day at Yahoo.com. This data along with each day's volume data is made available free to the general public 24 hours a day. Trend Engines takes advantage of this and the Downloader Add-in is the tool we use to get this data for our analyses.
