I'd really like to see an option to display the upcoming EPS dates on the charts with the ability to put some sort of notification on the charts that an EPS date is near.  The time frame should be user defineable.  

 

For example, in preferences maybe I'd like to set an option that would display something on the chart that stands out 21 days before an EPS announcement is due.  Maybe with a hover of the mouse I could get more information.  Pre-release, post market, etc.  

 

I noticed you have some corporate information in the new version.  I was disappointed that it is only in the platinum addition as that sort of information is vital for swing and position traders too.  However, with that information being free from other sources I can't see it as a reason to upgrade from gold to platinum.   Of course, I'm also not aware of what you had to do (or pay) to make it available at all.  But this kind of information would make your gold version that much more attractive in my opinion to new subscribers.  Just a thought.

StockFinder Gold does not have access to historical fundamentals, but TC2000 Gold should have the same access to Fundamentals as TC2000 Platinum. You can use the current values of fundamentals as WatchList Columns or as EasyScan Conditions. There isn't a fundamental data sheet in TC2000 version 12.3, but you can view the fundamental data sheet in TC2000 version 7.

Thank you for your suggestion. It has been assigned case number 10062.

"..TC2000 Gold should have the same access to Fundamentals as TC2000 Platinum."

 

Thank you!  I didn't realize it was already available.  I'm using TC2000 Gold.  Which WatchList Column or EasyScan condition shows the next EPS release date?  

 

I'm thinking I could edit/add that to my chart toolbar which would be a HUGE improvement right away and somewhat close to my suggestion above.  Putting it in a WatchList Column is also a good idea.

Earnings dates are not one of the available fundamentals. The Morningstar Fundamentals topic in Help lists what is available.

Platinum Only: "Corporate Calender of Upcoming Earnings & Events"  That's what I was trying to get at in my original post.  Maybe the powers that be will give case number 10062 every consideration.

 

Thanks for your time with this.

That feed does in fact require a TC2000 Platinum subscription.
