In view of the latest announcement from Fidelity, can the WL guys provide a tool to port all the fidelity watch lists to AlphaVantage watch list

thanks

This (Alphavantage) sounds like single-user request and thus is too specific to consider. But I'm sure you can do it manually if you wish. Shouldn't be too hard.

We may consider migrating existing Fidelity DataSets into those by other providers. But haven't started with laying out the specs for it yet.

Well you guys have a Alphavantage data link so it makes sense to have a utility which can easily port the datasets to Alphavantage ....I have may datasets and manual transferring them is not an option....moreover Alphavantage has free as well as paid option (for streaming) I am sure you will find others interested in Alphavantage as a good alternative to fidelity for clean data

I am sure many people like me are looking at options now for back testing software now that fidelity is not providing data....I like WL Pro and would like to keep it but before I decide to fork out $150, I would like to get the support from you guys so that the transition is as smooth as possible

@Cone please consider the request for porting the fidelity datasets.....this should be a HIGH priority task as we have only 20 days before we get unplugged by fidelity

If you wish to sponsor the development of a single-user, one-time tool for porting watchlists to fit a particular data provider extension, you're most welcome. We may consider it if remuneration is adequate to complexity.

Just not sure about prioritizing it since this is a convenience which doesn't seem essential to the program usage. It looks more like a feature request to me.
