Unable to return historical data for given security.

I am working on a project for class and am getting this message when trying to pull data from Yahoo. When I run a script that just pulls the data it works, but when I try pulling the data of two symbols I get this error

Is there a way to have matlab ignore this error and continue the script if it can't find the data. Right now it halts running with this red error message

Answer 1

The note on yahoo.fetch says: "Retrieving historical data for multiple securities at one time is not supported for Yahoo. You can fetch historical data for only a single security at a time."

You should build a loop assigning the result to a cell array or structure.

I have the Yahoo fetch in a loop but I still get this. It seems to only happen after hours perhaps the system is down or you can only grab during market hours?

[Oleg Komarov]

The connection could be lost during the retrieval or you could be asking for a stock which exist but not a that point in time.
