FTSE100 Winners & Losers (Teletext/Ceefax)

Oct 11, 2007 8 Replies

This is a bit of a long shot. I collect daily closing Winners & Losers from Teletext or Ceefax (the two channels are usually the same figures). If I'm away, there's an automated process that does it. I've noticed that there has been an inexplicable glitch some days when I was away recently (don't know why, as it was sporadic, and it hasn't done it before, but need to look into it).



Does anyone have FTSE winners and losers date for the last 3 weeks (say) derived from Teletext/Ceefax. I should be eternally grateful.



Thanks

If it is any help, Telegraph pm has them in their archives.

Just curious. Are you trying to find the most volatile stocks?

Can't help, I'm afraid - but maybe you should be looking for another solution anyway. AIUI, the sort of Teletext/Ceefax we currently know and love will die on digital switch-over - and the text service on Freeview is infinitely inferior.

I think that the LSE releases them freely, so it's just a matter of finding a news organisation which has an available archive or someone who gets daily market reports via email.

I'm also interested as to what you're doing with the stats.

That would be great: can you elaborate further (I'm obviously being a bit thick): "Telegraph pm"?

TIA

In response to the couple of queries (gratefully rec'd):

  1. Yup, I know trad Teletext will be disappearing when analogue terrestrial TV switches into digital terrestrial; already thinking about another source, and this has made me think a bit harder!
  2. The purpose: some years ago, there was an article in the Chronic Investor by David Schwartz advocating taking a 50-day moving average of the risers with certain levels in the MAV being signals. It piqued my curiosity, and I've been collecting data since. It's nothing more than a bit of gentle fun to be taken with a large dose of salt, really! I wouldn't dare make any claims on the data, but it's interesting to watch what has happened as time goes by (but not infer anything about what might happen). I could post a graph somewhere if there was sufficient interest.

It is a newspaper produced in pdf format every weekday evening.

and just to clarify, for what it's worth, I'm not looking for a list of shares of the biggest winners and losers, I'm looking for the number of shares that rose and fell for a given day, so for today (Fri) it is:

FTSE100 at CLOSE Winners 37 Losers 62
