If your data service vendor has
proper table format then it is
very easy to store the data within AmiBroker for further processing. Don't listen to people telling you otherwise. They don't have a clue.
An example source for US stocks is this one
http://www.stockpup.com which provide data in CSV format.
Now, since AmiBroker has inbuilt functions
InternetOpenURL(), InternetReadString(), InternetClose() and native matrix functionality it is very simple to iterate through the data and to store it to matrix once and save matrix to static/persistent variable.
Then you compare the matrix's datetime column with the array elements of the symbol array in order to assign the fundamental data column(s) to array variable. Also you can easily scroll through the matrix columns via Param() slider.
All very easy.. with short code (50 to 100 lines).
That is just one example.. there are other ways...
as always.
Other ways: using ODBC plugin, Osaka plugin, ...
Last but not least here is result example using upper mentioned data source. That one is just for backing up said things.
