Is there any way, given a stock symbol, to obtain historical data for it? For example, if I want to calculate the 200 day average for a quote I would need the closing price for a add stock for the last 200 days. How can I obtain that?

3Try Yahoo finance, they actually let you graph a moving average if you wish, no math or spreadsheet required.– JTP - Apologise to Monica ♦Jun 23, 2014 at 22:32

In fact most charting software already does this for you, no need to calculate it. There is no need to try to re-invent the wheel.– VictorJun 24, 2014 at 5:45

JoeTaxpayer but can I download the data? Or I can only chart online?– Paulo MatosJun 24, 2014 at 7:58

Victor as I mentioned to JoeTaxpayer... I know most charting software does it for me but how can I grab hold of the data itself?– Paulo MatosJun 24, 2014 at 7:59
