Hi droskill,
Re: QP & your comment << - No lists of the stocks making up
S&P500 or other key indices (they do have Nasdaq and NYSE).
Have you opened the QP charting software, then selected the index you wish
(e.g., !RUT, !SPX, etc.) and clicked F2 (or the tablet with pencil icon on the
tool bar)? You will get the list of the stocks which make up the index, at
least as QP has them from their data supplier. (I have noticed discrepancies b/w
QP & TC2007 & other sources). The list is easily exported as
a tls or ASCII file, can be imported to AB to put in a watchlist, etc.
(This latter is not unique to QP.) Unfortunately this is not so for
the ETF population (e.g. SPY, GDX, SLV, etc. ) -- does premium data provide
this?
I've subscribed to both QP and TC2007 for > 15 years, and generally been
pleased with the way they complement each other --- historically the
support from QP in correcting data errors promptly was superior, TC offers more
of a "community" now (years ago there was a QP community as well and I learned
much about scanning from it). Premium data looks good as well,
however I've not tried them yet. The things promised may get me to add
them or switch one of my EOD data providers to them this year.
Peace and Justice --- Patrick

Subject: [amibroker] Re: Data Feed - What
do you use? - Need a Data Vendor
I've been spending a bit more time with Quotes Plus - pretty
good data feed, but there are issues:
- No lists of the stocks making
up S&P500 or other key indices (they do have Nasdaq and NYSE). This
means if you use the S&P, for instance, for looking % of stocks above a
moving average, you're going to have to manage the lists yourself.
- Has
fundamentals - this is useful, and the data feed can be used with more
fundamentally-oriented scanning software such as HGSI.
- Has a ton of
indices - gold/silver/oil, etc as well as put/call indices, etc. Premium
may have the put/call as well - I'd have to take a look.
On Premium
Data:
- Fantastic folder breakdown of industries and indices. So,
running a scan over the stocks in the S&P 500 or the S&P 1500 is
simple, and will not require maintenance from you.
- Lacks some basic
useful indices out of the box - like those mentioned above
(oil/gold/etc).
- No fundamental data.
- Great ETF breakdowns into
different categories.
Telechart:
- Includes access to their online
stock tool freestockcharts.com
- Includes fundamentals
- Lots of indices
and special, TC-only indices like T2106 etc.
- Major problem - the API to
access the data via AB doesn't adjust for splits or dividends. This
basically, from my point of view, makes it useless for
backtesting.
That's what I've got right now - to me it's a toss up
between Quotes Plus and Premium.

comparison of the two that has experience with both? From my limited
experience, QuotesPlus has a bit more extensive indices, but Premium has it on
organization.

a little program that you must install. It has all the necessary structure and
very well integrated to Amibroker. Everyday you just update the data via this
little program and...voila...they're updated in your AB database.

data.
