Qute Servers - retrieving Foreign Bond Prices

[Mark]

Hi Alan,

Thanks for the info. This Xetra server seems to index the prices by a combination of name and ISIN, which would make entering the symbol in FM difficult. Instead, we are considering adding this server:

http://www.boerse-berlin.com/

as it offers bonds, indexed by ISIN. It does offer the quote you mentioned, which you can see here:

http://www.boerse-berlin.com/index.php/ ... 3FN0017612

I'm wondering if you think this server would satisfy your bond quote needs?

HI yes that server would be perfect In fact I bought that bond on that market!!

Tested with 5 other issues in AUD CHF and NOK all work so should be better than the stuttgart one

Kind regards

Hi Alan,

Okay, thanks for the help and feedback. We've just added this quote server to our list of supported servers. You can get the latest quote module (445) by going to "Help / FM on the Web / Check for Updates...". You will then see a new "Boerse Berlin - Bonds" quote server to use. Record the bond's ISIN as the symbol in Fund Manager to retrieve from this server. For more on this server, see:

Hi Alan,

Are they not available on Boerse Berlin or Boerse Stuttgart? If not, can you tell me the URL of the nzx site, and an example ISIN or whatever code you use to look them up on there?

[alpappy]

Hi the nz bonds don't work on either site

https://www.nzx.com/markets/NZDX/bonds/ZEL020

there is the nzx bonds url with a quote included

not sure if you can get this to work it may just return the yield as the price

thanks for trying I appreciate the excellent support!!

Hi Alan,

Thanks for the help. That server does provide the "Price per $100" which would import as the bond's price. We will see about adding this server.

Hi Alan,

We've just added this NZX server for bond quotes. You can use it with quote module 446, which you can get by selecting "Help / FM on the Web / Check for Updates...". For details on this server, see:

I am also struggling with some non-US securities and hope it's okay to resurrect this thread rather than starting anew.

One example is a German ETF that Yahoo will retrieve today's price for (as 4Q5V.DE) but nothing historical. Is the website goyax.de potentially FM-friendly? The same ETF there:

http://www.goyax.de/etf/deka-dax-aussch ... 000ETFL060

Hi HMI,

I didn't see historical prices there, but maybe it was because I couldn't read the site since it isn't in English... Is there some link I need to click on to see the historical prices?

[HMI]

Sorry for that, Mark (and thanks for the very fast response). OnVIsta may be a better bet. As an example, this gets the last ten years ("120M" at the end of the URL) for the ETF I mentioned above:

http://www.onvista.de/etf/deka-dax-auss ... RANGE=120M

Thanks,
Ian

I'm following up with a new post in case a reply is in progress.

I did some more research and now understand that I should not have been using 4Q5V.DE for this ETF. That is the symbol for a DAX index that specifically tracks the "INAV" (indicative net asset value) for the ETF in question. (http://www.dax-indices.com/EN/index.aspx?pageID=17)

Using EL4F.DE instead brings successful FM retrievals via Yahoo and Yahoo historical.

Sorry to have troubled you!

Hi Ian,

Excellent, glad you figured out a solution using the existing servers.
