Issues and limitations
Limitation:
Stooq noticed to have a pretty low daily quota for requests, returning "Exceeded the daily hits limit" instead of data. Consider to use the service wisely or switch to one of the
alternative data providers
.
Provider does not have the means to adjust for splits and dividends. To maintain your data in good shape, either perform splits manually or reload the DataSet from scratch using the
Data Tool
's "Remove all data" feature and then updating the DataSet.
