Fundamental data in your charts and backtesting
On
the left a chart for IBM US Equity showing earnings per share at
the bottom.
Any from the more than 10.000 fundamental fields Reuters has
available can be charted in your TA software depending on your Reuters
subscription.
This will make it possible to design trading systems using any
of these fields and backtest the strategy.
Real time and end of day charting
For all client software real time and end of day charting is supported.
Reuters does not suply fundamental data fields in real time but
real time and daily fields can be mixed so these fields can be used
in your real time charts.
Local database
Data is stored in a local database. This will enable you to do
faster charting since data does not need to be downloaded. Especialy
usefull when you want to run your trading systems on multiple symbols.
Daily error correcting
Even though Reuters has very reliable data, errors do occure
and real time timestamps can be incorrect due to delayed transmission.
Professional trades can have timestamps that are out of sequence
but charting software, due to the way they work, wil record the
data with the "real time" timestamp. This might have your
trading software show incorrect charts or trading systems trading
on incorrect data. On a daily interval, for wich the time can be
set by the user, the local database will be refreshed with newly
downloaded data. This will give the cleanest possible historical
data and charts. (if desired, this feature can be disabled)
Symbol aliasing
Aliasing
is designed so you can use simple names for symbols. On the right
a MetaStock chart for MSFT and MSFT US
EQUITY. Aliasing makes the symbol MSFT US EQUITY (right)
also available under the alias MSFT (left).
With Aliasing you can also design aliases for parts of the Reuters
symbols or for fundamental fields.
With Aliasing you only need to type short aliases for long symbol
names and fundamental fields.
Smart Real time "autoconnect"
If you use real time charting, at startup of the BBadapter, the
recently used symbols will automaticaly be connected to Reuters
and the real time data will be stored into the local database. If
you then request a real time chart for one of these symbols your
charting will be faster because the real time data is allready stored
in your local database and does not need to be downloaded from Reuters.
