Greetings! This is my first post. I'm wondering which Reuters Product is best for long-tern strategy(24m+) testing of International stocks (north America included) based on weekly price movement, volume and financials? I contacted their sales in the US, who happened to be rather confused... Their EU office is not very knowledgeable either. I know reuters fundamental data is not on par with bb, capital iq or factset, but it's certainly cheaper and covers many more markets than I can trade. Most importantly, on the whole it's decent enough for me. And is it true that Reuters doesn't have a cap for daily data download? Just in case I want to export 10gb of data in one day Any ideas guys?
End of day data Reuters datalink $24.95 https://www.metastock.com/products/data/ Reuters eikon badged metastock xenith $99 or $150 https://www.metastock.com/products/realtime/xenith/?overview If you want fundamental data look at www.ycharts.com as I am not sure you can download data from metastock xenith via API. This maybe one of the restrictions to get the low price compared with Reuters eikon. Check with metastock.
I do have Xenith. You can download data to Excel. They also provide many templates or you can build your own sheets with their many functions.
Xenith is a Reuters eikon terminal with some limits for about 10% of the price. A few stories cannot be read but you get the headline. Ask metastock what the limits are, do report back. Look at www.ycharts.com
Drop by their offices in NYC (or London, or...) for a demo. In person, I've found them gracious and knowledgeable. No idea how you concluded that. Reuters is blue-chip. (Btw, BBG doesn't offer a research-quality db.)
Maybe was just my lucky day to run into their B team They might be better equipped for answering technical questions, however stumbled when I asked them about nitty gritty of fundamental research related features.
