10 Years of ASX Data and Daily Updates for Free
I’ve previously alerted you to the free yahoo group ASX data that is delivered daily to your mail box.
Today I have another place to tell you about.
Float.com.au is a bit of a strange one actually. It has been around for years, but the site has remained unfinished for all this time. But, it is updated every single trading day at 5pm (EST) with free end of day data for the ASX in either text, csv or zip format. You can also pick what type of data you need for your individual charting program.
There is also an area where you can download previous months / years of data back until January 1997. Not bad at all for free. A lot of data places charge quite a bit for this information.
The only other page on the Float site that seems to be of any use (or finished) is the Glossary page under the help section. It explains a whole heap of different market terms.
So if your in need of a great free data service for the Australian Stock Exchange, look no further than here.
Unfortunately this data is not adjusted for splits, capital returns, code changes, delistings etc. which makes it a fairly poor source of data for meaningful analysis.
