Author	Topic: Ex-divident date and yearly/quarterly reports (4 messages, Page 1 of 1)
Jensen -Interested User- Posts: 9 Joined: Apr 20, 2012	Posted: Jun 10, 2012 04:31 AM Msg. 1 of 4 Hi there, i have some question i hope a friendly soul might be able to answer. Basically the questions are about getting data so that i don't trade certain stocks on certain days. There are two scenarios: Backtest: historical information I have a list of ticker symbols (e.g. GOOG, EBAY etc.) and a time scope with a start and end date (e.g 21. May 2012 --> 1. June 2012) (so the timescope is in the past, so i would like to request historical information). Is it possible to get data from IQFeed to check if the tickers had ex-dividend dates within this timescope? I would also like to check if the tickers had released any yearly or quarterly reports within that timescope. Forward/papertrading: The scenario is the same as above. I have a list of tickers and a timescope. But this time the timescope extends into the future (no historical data). Is it possible to know if a ticker has a scheduled ex-divident day in the future, say 1 week ahead of today? :)

I have to ask our Market Data Services if future ex-div dates are available and will get back to you with a response on that.
