Hi there,

I am trialling the Excel package XLQ which sucks in data from IQFeed and has an option to show a securities "Beta". The XLQ people tell me this data is fed directly from you guys.

Can you tell me the source and/or formula for this beta calculation?

Cheers,

Adrian

Hello Adrian,

I do not have the exact formula yet, but our Developer web page explains beta as a coefficient measuring a stock’s relative volatility. It is the covariance of a stock in relation to the rest of the stock market.
This calculation comes to us from Morningstar, our fundamental data provider.

right ok. XLQ - IQFeed - Morningstar. Quite the trip.

Appreciate your efforts in hunting this down.

Adrian
