MarketDataDownloader

Stock trading is a serious business that can involve huge amounts of money, with the financial markets constantly providing a wealth of information to study. MarketDataDownloader is an application that allows users to download market information directly to their computer, with advanced settings to control the amount of information.

Despite the complicated nature of stock market information, MarketDataDownloader features a very clear and simple interface. The different settings and configurations are assigned to their own area and are changeable before the download begins, as well as the option to for users to set the directory path for the download.

Users can either download price information, ranging back by a set number of days, or they can download information between two fixed dates. There is also an additional option to download either the monthly, daily, weekly or the intraday price reports, allowing users to minimize or maximize the downloaded amount.

The detailed text reports that MarketDataDownloader downloads are very in depth, providing a wall of information that can be hard to navigate. The application seems to be aware of how difficult it can be to decipher the information, so it presents over 15 different date formats to change how the reports are displayed.

As well as the different date format options, there are several other format options to change how the price reports appear. Ultimately, users can customize the information to appear however they want, as well as selecting the market times. Users can get price reports from the main market times, or they can customize the report to obtain prices from any specific market times.

It would be very easy for MarketDataDownloader to simply provide basic text reports and nothing else, fortunately that is not the case. The range of customizable format settings for the price reports is impressive, then combined with the easy configuration makes MarketDataDownloader a worthwhile tool.
