Share Trade Tracker is working anymore

[DanielBaeumler]

Hello,
I can’t get anymore market data into Share Trade Tracker.
According to Scott Lindsay, Google and Yahoo changed security settings preventing the data feed. He said there are only two options to fix that:

1) get the STT EOD historical data
2) use a VPN block (e.g. Express VPN)

Unfortunately, both options cost.

Am I the only one having this problem?
How do you do your performance reporting?

Cheers. Daniel

I think most are using the EOD service.

I’ve been in contact with Norgate and they’ll soon be providing a web API interface for NDU users.

More to come…

Thank’s Nick.

RE: 2) use a VPN block (e.g. Express VPN)

As a suggestion (and I haven’t tried/tested this myself), for those that use a VPS i.e. Speedy Trading Server, which is hosted in the US. You might be able to update your Share Trade Tracker via your VPS. I.e. install Excel on your VPS and load your Share Trade Tracker from your VPS, that way your using a US Geo IP Address, which then may allow you to update prices from Google/Yahoo etc.

Once again, I haven’t tried this myself, but it might work. Worth a try anyway.

Hey guys, Ya I tried it on my VPS and it didn’t work there either. I actually have ExpressVPN already and that didn’t work either. So for me, I was forced to buy EOD data. Hopefully Norgate provides this in the future but otherwise its an extra $20 per month.
