Zacks provides earnings data going several years back: Date, Period Ending, Reported EPS, EPS estimate, EPS surprise, Surprise %, Release Time (of day). Each item comes with these extra details attached: periodEnding, estimate, surprise, surprisePct, time.

They are available in two forms:

  • In a popup when mousing over an [z] Zacks Adjusted Earnings 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 "Zacks Adjusted Earnings" > go to "DataSets" tab > click "Update DataSet").

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() { const char tab = '\u0009'; string item = "[z] Zacks Adjusted Earnings"; IList<FundamentalItem> fList = FundamentalDataItems(item); ClearDebug(); PrintDebug(Bars.Symbol + tab + "Item Count: " + fList.Count); PrintDebug("FY" + tab + "FQ" + tab + "Bar" + tab + "Date " + tab + "Value" + tab + "FormatValue"); foreach (FundamentalItem fi in fList) { PrintDebug(fi.GetDetail("fiscal year") + tab + fi.GetDetail("current quarter") + tab + fi.Bar.ToString() + tab + fi.Date.ToShortDateString() + tab + fi.Value.ToString("$#,0.00") + tab + fi.FormatValue().Replace("\n", " ") ); }

ChartPane p = CreatePane(30,true,true); PlotFundamentalItems(p,item,Color.FromArgb(255,255,0,0),LineStyle.Solid,1); } } }

This example shows how to get the earnings release time field (before/after market):

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() { const char tab = '\u0009'; string item = "[z] Zacks Adjusted Earnings";

IList<FundamentalItem> fList = FundamentalDataItems(item); ClearDebug(); PrintDebug(Bars.Symbol + tab + "Item Count: " + fList.Count); PrintDebug("Date " + tab + "Value" + tab + "Release Time"); foreach (FundamentalItem fi in fList) { PrintDebug(fi.Date.ToShortDateString() + tab + fi.Value.ToString("$#,0.00") + tab + fi.GetDetail("time")); }

ChartPane p = CreatePane(30, true, true); PlotFundamentalItems(p, item, Color.FromArgb(255, 255, 0, 0), LineStyle.Solid, 1); } } }
