Re: [amibroker] Why am I not getting any Fundamental Data with new AM4.81 beta?

What for ? AmiQuote does that already. It makes no sense to create plugin for fundamentals as it makes no sense to update fundamentals every day or every minute.
Fundamental figures change rarely so one update per week is perfect. And AmiQuote is perfect for that.
Keep things simple.

  Seems like someone might want to create a separate plugin that reads the fundamental data from Yahoo at the same time that the quote plugin is reading from another source, such as IB or QP2.

    Hello,

    You can use Yahoo Fundamental data in any database (including QP2). 

    As for quotation data - they are fed directly from the plugin
    and you can't overwrite them. If you want to make current quote update from Yahoo you would need to temporarily switch data source in (File->Database Settings) to "(local database)"
    then at the end of the day switch back to QP2.

      Thanks TJ!  Can I use Yahoo data in a QP database?  A while back I thought I could get away with using both Yahoo and QP data -- since QP is end of day data, my plan was to use Yahoo data intraday with AmiQuote and then I would run the QP download at the end of the day when prices were final.....let's just say it didn't work

        Hello,

        Yes in the next stage all existing plugins will be adopted to put what is available from the external source into those new fields.
        In the mean time don't forget that you can still import fundamental data using AmiQuote *even* if this database is driven
        from external source. BTW, it is quite interesting to see many differencies between Yahoo  and say QP2 fundamentals.

          can detailed fundamental data be imported from QP with this new feature?  I use the getextradata function but I would like to be able to import more than what is offered.

          Thanks

            Hello,

            For example the formula that uses 1yr target estimate price (not very reliable, btw :-( ):

            OneYearTarget = GetFnData("OneYearTargetPrice"); 
            UpsidePotential = 100 * ( ( OneYearTarget / Close ) - 1 ); 

            // only include stocks that have price higher than $5 
            // and 1yr target higher than current close 
            Filter = Close > 5 AND OneYearTarget > Close AND Status("lastbarintest"); 

            AddColumn( UpsidePotential, "1yr target / current price [%]", 1.2 ); 

            Or another one a bit more complex, that uses EPS estimates and dividends:

            CurEPS = GetFnData("EPS"); 
            PE = Close / CurEPS; 
            NextYearEPS = GetFnData("EPSEstNextYear"); 
            Dividend = GetFnData("DividendPerShare"); 
            UpsidePotential = 100 * ( ( NextYearEPS / CurEPS ) - 1 ); 

            // only include stocks with current PE < 50 
            // that pay dividends 
            // and have price higher than $5 
            // and have next year EPS est higher than current EPS 
            Filter = PE < 50 AND Dividend > 0 AND Close > 5 AND UpsidePotential > 0 AND Status("lastbarintest"); 

            AddColumn( UpsidePotential, "NextYearEPS / CurEPS [%]", 1.2 );

                     Tomasz,

                    Thanks a lot, Problem was I did not have Auto import checked. It works like a breeze now.  Now if we can just get some formulas that use this info. (hint hint)

                    Thanks again,

                    Hello,

                    1. Do you have "Automatic import" box checked ?
                    2. Did you open View->Symbol Information ?
                    3. Look into "downloads" subfolder for files with the extension .aqfn (Yahoo Fundamental Basic)
                    and .aqfe (Yahoo Fundamental Extra). You may open them with Notepad and look if there
                    are any data inside.
