ex_hacker202 Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 I just noticed that shrs out (and therefor market cap) disappeared for multiple symbols, and hist. backfill using all four sources available to me does not resolve the problem - I know one of the stocks, AMRN, used to have bad shrs out data, MT showed 150k when there are 353M, but now multiple symbols are just blank. I understand that CEFs and ETFs have always had this issue, but regular stocks did not - what happened? Here are some of the symbols where shrs out no longer appear, and these are just ones I either own or have on a watchlist, I'll bet there are many others with the same problem: AMRN CSCO GLNG MTNB QRVO SRPT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 which specific datafeeds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex_hacker202 Posted December 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 TDA, Ally, Smartsource, and Yahoo are the ones I have access to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 TD Ameritrade does not return that data. Yahoo and Ally do - I just checked. If you are not getting the data for Shares Outstanding on some symbols with those sources, let me know which symbols Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex_hacker202 Posted January 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 Ah, I did it wrong - not backfill or historical backfill, need to change the data feed to Ally - I use TDA as default because those are my main accounts, will stay switched to Ally from now on - thanks. Still have a problem with 3 symbols - all CEFs but PCI and LDP now show shrs out (anther Pimco CEF PDI is ok), and AMRN again shows 150k shrs out, real number is ~358M. Ally shows the wrong number on it's website, but MT isn't even picking that up - Yahoo and TDA show the same number for AMRN on their websites, but not in MT: Ally - Shares Outstanding (MRQ) 330.9M TDA - Shares Outstanding 358.9M Yahoo - Shares Outstanding 5 358.91M Curious why you say TDA doesn't provide that data - on TDA and Ally you have to get a symbol quote then click on a tab "Fundamentals" to find shrs out - perhaps that's not how MT gets the data, meaning it's in a separate data stream?

Jerry Medved Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 You don't need to keep the source switched. Once you get the quotes from Yahoo or Ally, you can switch back to TDA and the shares outstanding will remain there. Just won't update till next time, but that column does not update often anyway Ameritrade and probably Ally websites use a different source than the API data. TDA streaming data does not have that info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
