ydfah Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 Did you disable the Yahoo News source in MT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 Yahoo is no longer available for scanning news in background. We did make it so it will work when you select a symbol on the Symbol specific news window. We also added CNBC as an option in the beta version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ydfah Posted October 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 So when I manually click a symbol in the news window those "Y!" results on the right come from Yahoo News? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Medved Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Yes. We don't do it for all symbols because the download from yahoo per symbol is substantial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex_hacker202 Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 Since the last update I'm not seeing any yellow light bulbs for news next to any of the symbols in my portfolios or watch lists - are you saying MT will no longer download Yahoo news automatically, or did this switch apply to all news sources? For a few symbols I see an outline of a lightbulb, clicking on that symbol for news opens the news panel, but it takes a couple seconds to populate - I have to manually check every symbol for new news, this is not good - some symbols even have news but no lightbulb symbol at all, meaning I have to scroll through every symbol (about 60!) to see if there's news. This has to be fixed - the news function is crucial to watch lists. I'm currently getting news from TDA, Ally, and Yahoo sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 Yahoo News is now only on request - in other words, when you select News for the symbol, MT will get the news just for that symbol at that time (or select symbol on the per symbol news window). It will not scan news in background. We did add CNBC as a source that will be scanned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex_hacker202 Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 I understand that Yahoo news is only be request now, but as I mentioned I'm not seeing a yellow "there's new news" lightbulb next to any symbol - I have no way of knowing if TDA or Ally or CNBC has news waiting for me, and checking my portfolio I do see news today that came from either TDA or Ally plus CNBC news. This is a separate issue from no longer auto-polling Yahoo news. As an aside, what suddenly caused Yahoo news to be too much of a burden for MT to handle after all these years?

Jerry Medved Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 as far as the other sources not scanning or getting streaming (TDA) in the background, send us the log/settings. As for Yahoo, the API we were using no longer works and the only way we can get the news is reading a very large page containing it. Because of the size of that page, it is not practical to scan in the background Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliver Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 Hi, I get no Yahoo news even when I click on a symbol in the News screen although 'Yahoo Finance' is enabled in the DataSources screen. I get news for sources mkWatch, finviz, cnbc.. but nothing on yahoo so I get no news for international stocks like OXE.ST for instance. Is there a setup I should activate for this?

Jerry Medved Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 if you enter the symbol in that format, it will not work. Have to use MT symbol format:OXE:ST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 Hi, I still do not get yahoo news using OXE:ST. I don't get them on any symbols. No yahoo news on US symbols : On AAPL I only get news from source cnbc and finviz source. However I can see yahoo has news for the symbol but I don't get them even if I double click on the ticker in the news screen. Is that a setup issue?

Jerry Medved Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/OXE.ST/news?p=OXE.ST there isn't any recent news. I did get a bunch on AAPL though. You would only see the news item if you select the symbol on the News window. It will not update in background for Yahoo. If you still have a problem, then bring up news on AAPL, then send me the logs. Go to FILE / HELP => Send Log/Settings to support menu (from Dashboard or Portfolio) And add this Post’s URL in the comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
