Yahoo has slightly updated its names for index historical data. Instead of having the standard ^GSPC for S&P500, now the name is %5EGSPC. %u201C%5E%u201D is being used for all indexes.
Is there a way to insert %u201C%5E%u201D in the URL or downloader settings (instead of having them in the name)? Of course, this solution implies creating a download item specific for indexes.

There is an issue with my previous post:

Is there a way to insert %5E in the URL or downloader settings (instead of having them in the name)? this solution implies creating a download item dedicated for indexes.

Hi Christophe,

%5E is just the URL encoded character for (^).
^GSPC symbol is still working.

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
