Dial Data
I have personally used the Dial Data downloader for over 6 years and found its data to go back 30 years or more on most stocks, commodity and indexes and is relatively clean from errors. The Gann Grids ultra program also provides a seamless link within its functions for easy access to its service.

"Free" Yahoo Data now available
In the past many have asked if there were any FREE internet data sources Gann Grids Ultra will work with
.. And the answer is YES!!
Gann Grids ultra will work with most historical Yahoo data extracted from www.finance.yahoo.com but must be converted into a CSV file first.
However this is a very simple procedure.
1) Open up the webpage www.finance.yahoo.com
2) Plug in the desired symbol into the Get Quote box
3) Click on Historical Prices section on left
4) Set date and time settings to the desired settings... IE. Start Date, End Date and time period (Daily, weekly, or monthly format)
5) Once done scroll down to Download to Spreadsheet then save to desired location.
6) Next, open data in Excel, expand column A to show all dates, then press at the same time ctrl/A. This will highlight all data within the file.
7) Once highlighted click from the top toolbar the Data button, then Sort by setting the first box to Date and click on Ascending, then press File, Save and click yes to save as CSV format.
8) Once the data is converted and saved go to Gann Grids Ultras file section, open the saved CSV file by clicking on File and highlight the desired time period from the file being read.
IE
Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.
9) Then set the format as follows:
1) File: Opens chart file being read
