[amibroker] Accessing and Using Fundamental Data

["jclane44" <johncharleslane@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am considering a variety of charting/backtesting programs including AMIBroker.  I believe that being able to integrate both fundamental and technical inputs into the full functionality of the program including scanning/backtesting is a plus.  It looks like AMI Broker can handle fundamental data but the download and accession looks a little quirky.  Programs like AMI and Metastock weren't built around fundamental data and even now Metastock end of day can't handle it.  The real time version, Metastock Pro, requires you to usa a separate program to search for stocks with the right fundamentals and then you import them into Metastock Pro.  So far they haven't taken the time to integrate fund/tech together.

For AMI B can fundamental data be downloaded in one fell swoop using a provider like Quotes Plus (who does have fund. data)or is it a more cumbersome multi-step process?  For instance, do you need to go to a different provider specializing in fundamental data, like finance.yahoo in addition to your regular data provided, does that limit the number of stocks you download the fundamental data for?  Then is accessing fundamental data is AMI B not quite as seamless as using technical data alone?

Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.
