Greg,
 
Thank you for these links. Did you find any mention of the 
data in an ASCII form? This can be imported and used for 
backtesting.
Best regards,Tomasz Janeczkoamibroker.com

Walid,
 
Here's a product that seems to offer screeningof 
historical data for fundamentals and technicals. <A 
href=""><FONT 
color=#0000ff>http://www.chartsmart.com/theory.htm<FONT 
color=#000080> . I wonder if their data could be used by 
AB  for backtesting ?  They reference NAQ  <A 
href="">www.naq.com<FONT 
color=#000080> as a data provider.  It may turn out that The ValueLine 
Investment Survey software would be a good source of  data going back 10 
years. I don't recall if  their software offers backtesting capabilities, 
they offer a 3-month trial for $65 USD if you are interested in checking out 
what they have to offer <A

Greg,Thanks for the screen.  The results 
indeed look veryinteresting.  However, with regards to using QP2 
tobacktest, please read the following message fromTomasz responding 
to my question about QP2 and backtesting fundamental data:<A 
href="">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amibroker/message/19891Since 
the valueline screen goes back to 1986, I don'tthink you can get 
AMIBroker to read from QP2 thatback,either because QP2 doesn't 
provide the data (theyonly go back 8 quarters I believe), or AB 
doesn'thave the required fields.Let me know if you find a way to 
backtest such datawith AB--I would be very 
interested.Walid--- greg
