So if you dump telechart and move to premium, where do you get fundamental?

This means if you use the S&P, for instance, for looking % of stocks above a moving average, you're going to have to manage the lists yourself. - Has fundamentals - this is useful, and the data feed can be used with more fundamentally-oriented scanning software such as HGSI. - Has a ton of indices - gold/silver/oil, etc as well as put/call indices, etc. Premium may have the put/call as well - I'd have to take a look. On Premium Data: - Fantastic folder breakdown of industries and indices. So, running a scan over the stocks in the S&P 500 or the S&P 1500 is simple, and will not require maintenance from you. - Lacks some basic useful indices out of the box - like those mentioned above (oil/gold/etc). - No fundamental data. - Great ETF breakdowns into different categories. Telechart: - Includes access to their online stock tool freestockcharts.com - Includes fundamentals - Lots of indices and special, TC-only indices like T2106 etc. - Major problem - the API to access the data via AB doesn't adjust for splits or dividends. This basically, from my point of view, makes it useless for backtesting. That's what I've got right now - to me it's a toss up between Quotes Plus and Premium.
