How to experiment with Historical data for the stock market?
I am planning to start trading stocks very soon. I have a theory that I think will make me money, but I need the opportunity to test it. Ideally I would like to test my technical analysis strategy on historical data before going live. I know someone might say past performance is not a guarantee of future.. That’s why I would like to try it on different stocks or different industries.
Where can I find historical stock price data for companies that are no longer listed on any exchanges?
For example, I would like historical stock prices for ATYT prior to their acquisition by AMD. I would like a source that is free and available online.
Where can I compare two stock symbols from different time frames? Current NAS vs NAS 1995?
I want to be able to compare chart patterns from the past to current one’s setting up on the same chart.
I want to look at a chart of MSFT for example from 2005 and compare it to an INTC chart from 1994 on the same chart.

Where can I download bulk historical stock price data?
Can anyone recommend some free or inexpensive data sources for historical stock info?
In general, I’m looking for daily pricing and volume data for the last 5 years or so, for at least the NYSE stocks, or preferably a broader set of securities. Additional info, including fundamental info on the stocks, would be great too.
I want to download this data and do some analysis on my own PC, so I don’t want a site where I have to look up each result on the screen, but rather, somewhere where I can download a bulk set of data in a common, accessible format (XLS, text, etc.)
Free would be best, of course, but I’d be willing to pay a reasonable price if need be.

Historical Stock Data SQL Server Database – 20 Years
This SQL Server database is used as the foundation for an Olap multi-dimensional cube. The database contains 22 million rows of Stock Market data from 1988-2008 and has been meticulously compiled and cleaned.
Exchanges and Symbols: Amex – 567 symbols Nasdaq – 5993 symbols Nyse – 3127 symbols Otcbb – 2121 symbols
Columns include: Ticker, Date, Open, High, Low, Close, Volume, Sector, Industry, Company Name and Exchange.
Drawbacks of other historical data sources:
- Many sources of historical data such as Yahoo Finance only allow you to download a very limited number of symbols at once. To attempt to gather years of historical stock data in this fashion is prohibitively time consuming.
- Other sources will allow you to buy historical data for thousands of ticker symbols but the data will often reside in thousands of separate excel spreadsheets or comma separated files (ascii format). The data from these sources needs to be combined and/or imported if one is desirous of organizing it in a fashion which lends itself to complex analysis such as in a relational database or data warehouse. Opening up thousands of individual spreadsheets to look for data is highly impractical while attempting to open a large ascii file in Excel can be difficult or impossible depending on the size of the file, the speed of the computer, or the version of Excel.
- Data which is contained in Metastock, Telechart, Quicken, .PRN-format or other proprietary programs are often very difficult to cleanly export to ascii (.txt or .csv). Unusual characters, spaces, varying date formats, and misaligned data is often a problem.
