The Portfolio123 plug-in allows you to download fundamental factors, formulas and ranking systems data into QuantShare. You can use this data for charting, screening, backtesting, creating composites...
By combining fundamental data from Portfolio123 and the advanced tools of QuantShare, you will be able to create powerful strategies and portfolios.
Steps
- Open P123 Plug-in by selecting "Divers" then "Portfolio123"
- Select "Settings" tab then enter you P123 login and password
