Joe,

Mutual Fund is not important for me from QP2 or TC2000.  (I'm a 
subscriber of FastTrack, don't have plans to switch yet, but if QP2 
data is good for ETFs, PRO, Rydex, Fidelity, and Strong then perhaps 
I'll discontinue FastTrack.)

>>Reliability on data downloads is flawless and customer service is 
great. I had it for years.<<

Thanks for the feedback.

Regards,

fundamental data is not historical (i.e. don't think that you can 
back test some idea of say using Earnings Per Share with QP data 
because it's only available in the now, today)..so you could use 
fundamental data for a daily strategy.  There has been some questions 
raised about the quality of QP's mutal fund data, handling dividends, 
distributions, and general price adjustments.

Historical fundamental data for screening is in TC2000 database and 
available in native TC2000 built in screens but the data is stored in 
a strange bastardized way to save space and the Amibroker plug in 
doesn't get to it. This my opinion about how the data is stored and 
not based on any research.
