Keith, I don't have to switch out of Quotes Plus to run AmiQuote to get the Yahoo Fundamental data. AmiBroker allows both feeds, as long as you have "use local database" turned in your database settings. Mr Valley seems to indicate that the Yahoo data and Quotes Plus data are the same, but each has different information. I find the Quotes Plus data the most useful as I follow the CAN SLIM system and Quotes Plus has information very similar to what O'Neil says to look for.

Don -- Do you have some way to view the GetFnData() values while still using QP data for plotting. Or are you forever switching back an forth between QP data and Yahoo data? If you don't need to switch back and forth, how come? BTW, what's with faint_grain.jpg? Thanks. -- Keith Don Lindberg wrote: Chris, I use Quotes Plus as well, but I also download the Yahoo Fundamental Data once a week using AmiQuote. This gives you the best of both worlds, as you can use both GetFnData AND GetExtraData functions.

However with QuotesPlus as my data source, I do not have access to "OneYearTargetPrice" and do not use the GetFnData call. I am limited to the fields supported by the GetExtraData() function. Perhaps Tomasz will consider expanding the QP plugin to support the additional fields in the QP download?

I've done some studies on this (and # of covering analysts, next 12 months EPS estimates, etc) and related topics using thomsononeanalytics.com excel add-in data. Additionally, there have been several unsuccess ful fund strategies at brokerage firms that used the buys/sells from the firm's analyst teams. Also, if analyst opinions are important to you, you may want to consider subscribing to Starmine, which ferrets out who are the best analysts and focuses on their moves. > > Chris > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Joe Landry > To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2006 5:31 PM > Subject: Re: [amibroker] Access to fundamental data using QuotesPlus > > > > The GetExtraData functions are supported by the QP plug in, and > the only way I see to do it is to extend the QP plug in, not likely > to happen unless done by someone in the AB user community. > > HTH > Joe > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: trb0428 > To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2006 4:17 PM > Subject: [amibroker] Access to fundamental data using QuotesPlus > > > Hi - > > Does anyone know if there is a way to access the "Analysts > Recommendations" field from within AB when using Quotes Plus as my > data source?
