Freeware notice. Freeware products from Aronow Software LLC are provided “as-is” and are unsupported. You may report any defects you encounter, however there are no guarantees they will be corrected.
Any symbols from any existing datasets may be selected, but each symbol must be unique within a watchlist. For example, if MSFT is included from the “Dow 30” dataset it cannot also be included from the “Nasdaq 100” dataset, as this would make it impossible to determine which MSFT symbol was being requested.
Using the Watchlist Provider
After installing the provider, create a new watchlist by selecting the “Aronow Software Watchlist Provider” as shown below. Click Next to continue.
Select an existing dataset from the dropdown list, and use the arrow buttons to choose one or more symbols from that dataset. Repeat for each dataset and symbol you want to add, then click Next.
To cache data, check the “Cache Data” option. Identical requests for data (same symbol, start and end dates) will then return cached data instead of reloading it from the original data source. To refresh the data from the source, change the dates requested, which triggers a full reload of the symbol.
Enter a name for your new dataset and click “Finished”. You now have a watchlist containing symbols from one or more existing datasets.
Notes
- The Watchlist Provider is a “pass-through” provider. All data is retrieved from the underlying datasets and passed through to Wealth-Lab, so “garbage in, garbage out” applies: if the underlying dataset does not contain data, the provider cannot retrieve it. Updates to the underlying datasets pass through automatically, so you only need to update those datasets.
- If a symbol is removed from the underlying dataset, the provider returns no data for it (it will not be removed from the watchlist). Recreate the watchlist dataset to remove the symbol.
