StreetInsider.com provides extended earnings data going back to 2010: date, EPS, EPS estimate, EPS surprise. Each dividend item comes with these extra details attached: CompanyName, EPSEstimate, EPSSurprise.

They are available in two forms:

  • In a popup when mousing over an [si] eps item on a stock chart
  • In WealthScript Strategoes via the GetDetail or FormatValue methods:

Make sure you've collected the fundamental data before running this Strategy (Data Manager > "Update Data" tab > check "StreetInsider earnings releases" > go to "DataSets" tab > click "Update DataSet").

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.Drawing; using WealthLab; using WealthLab.Indicators;

namespace WealthLab.Strategies { public class MyStrategy : WealthScript { protected override void Execute() { // Illustrates how to handle StreetInsider's extended EPS information with GetDetail const char tab = '\u0009'; string item = "si eps"; IList fList = FundamentalDataItems(item); ClearDebug(); PrintDebug(Bars.Symbol + tab + "Item Count: " + fList.Count); PrintDebug("Date" + tab + "EPS" + tab + "EPS Estimate" + tab + "EPS Surprise"); foreach (FundamentalItem fi in fList) { PrintDebug( fi.Date.ToShortDateString() + tab + fi.Value.ToString() + tab + fi.GetDetail("EPSEstimate") + tab + fi.GetDetail("EPSSurprise") ); } } } }


Issues and limitations

  • As of May 2018, StreetInsider introduced a protection against bulk capture of the data so you're unlikely to get the data for 2-4 symbols before being suspended.
