 Please add me to the QP3 list as well. I use them for my data source and I would appreciate an x64 plugin with more access to the data provided in QP.

Hello there - Guess we have some common interest.  CANSLIM first. 

I'm assuming you have Stock Picker Pro installed with your QP3?  It comes with the QP3 CD for no additional charge.
SPP has dozens of filters, one of which is called CANSLIM.
I've attached a screen shot and you'll see that at least 2 of the data fields needed are not exposed by the AB plugin that Tomasz has
provided us, like CQIE and CYIE.  A couple of options 1) if important enough maybe we could talk Tomasz into adding
those 2 extra fields in the plug in, or 2) ask someone who has the skills with the AB SDK could take the plug in
and extend it for those 2 fields. I've never fired up the SDK myself and not sure I have all the elements in my development desktop
 to do this.  I run the CANSLIM filter on QP3 and get somewheres around 175-200 good stocks every day that form a small universe of
stocks with good fundamentals and price change momentum.
 
3) EPS is an array and if you plot it you'll see it changes every quarter. So by either running an explore or a plot you can
see if   Ref(EPSarray,-66) works or not.  I'd take it outside the reference function just to be conservative like
EPSArray = GetExtradata("EPS");  
 
1) and 2)  Lots of good documentation in SPP, like the following that should remove any doubt in your mind as to what the fields are.
 
We had a 'birds of a feather' meeting at the Amibroker Conference in Houston and there were about 12 QP3 users there. I have a distribution
list that I'm adding your name to and if you don't want to be copied on some of our mailings please let me know and I'll take you off it.
Dan Clark is very active and has been providing information for the forum, to our group and feed back to the owner of Quotes Plus, hopefully to some avail.
 
Hope this helps.

% 5Yr EPS Gr





Description:  5 Year Earnings Per Share Growth
The percentage change in current fiscal year earnings compared to five years ago fiscal year earnings .
Source:  Quotes Plus
Filter category:  Fund Earnings - % EPS

CYIE
Description:  Continuous Yearly Improvement in Earnings Per Share
The objective is to find securities with year after year of continuous EPS growth for the past 3 years. The year is based on a trailing twelve month (TTM ) basis.  The yearly difference between the most recent EPS quarter and the same quarter a year ago is computed. This backwards computation is done to arrive at 4 yearly EPS values.  If the difference for most recent yearly EPS value is greater than the previous year (not equal) we add one to the count.  This type of backwards comparison goes on until one of two events occur:
  1. All 3 yearly time periods have been processed or
  2. The security fails with a yearly comparison that doesn't increase, the process will stop and the count is recorded

The process results in a number from 0 – 3.  A security with consecutive upward yearly progress will get a value of 3 (3 years of steady upward


% 1Yr EPS Gr (TTM)





Description:  1 Year Earning Per Share Growth (trailing 4 quarters)
The percentage change using the sum of the  last 4 quarters of  EPS compared to the sum of the prior 4 quarters of  EPS .  This is a current 4 quarter over the previous 4 quarters EPS comparison as opposed to the data fields:
  • % EPS Chg which is comparing the current quarters EPS to the same quarter a year ago.
  • % 1Yr EPS Gr which is comparing the current fiscal year EPS   to the prior fiscal year EPS .

Subject: [amibroker] GetExtraData

I have a few questions about the fundamental data coming out of QP3
that I hoped someone here could answer:
I'm pretty sure that sales and sharesfloat are reported in millions
(e.g. "1.2" means 1,200,000), and sharesshort are reported in
thousands (e.g. "1,200" means 1,200,000), but I don't know about
some of the others.
1) TTMSales? I can't think of any way to make this a real number.
2) TTMEPS? It looks like it could just be normal, but I'd like to
make sure.
3) Earnings growth numbers (Y1, Y5, and projections)? One would
expect percentage (e.g. "12" = 12%), is this the case?
One final question: Since "EPS" is an array, does that mean I can
get historical EPS by using Ref(GetExtraData("EPS"),-#)? If so, I've
tried that and it didn't seem to work. Is there another way to do it?
I'm trying to set up some sort of CANSLIM type of exploration. So,
if anyone has any ideas on that, I would really appreciate the help.
Thank you.
