Readme.txt

The resource files include two Visual Studio 2013 project folders, one sql file, and two txt files.

This readme.txt file is meant to be the first file that you read and use.  It provides an overview of the tip's resources.

Files with ohlcv data can be downloaded from the Google Finance site with the URLs referenced in the txt file named stock price history URLs for Data Mining.

The SSIS project folder named Data Mining Model for Stock Trading Strategies is for an SSIS project for reading the downloaded files and populating various tables in the stock_history_data database.  If you do not already have this database in your SQL Server, create it.  You can use the sql to create stock_history_data db.sql file to accomplisht this.

The SSRS project folder named Stock Trading Strategy Reports.  The project in the folder references the stock_history_data database to create the three reports described in the tip.
