Still trying to reach previous earnings dates for backtesting purposes. I see under the Data tab on your header bar, there is Fundamentals data (for the United States) that is provided by Morningstar. On that page, I see an EarningReports group, with FileDate as an option. How do I reference this???? Does it come in with
AddSecurity(SecurityType.Equity, symbol, Resolution.Daily);
If so, how do I reference it? Securities["symbol"].EarningReport.FileDate
For debugging purposes, how would i log (or display) the next earnings date? The following gives error messages. I'm sure I'm not defining or accessing it correctly.
Debug("The next earnings date is " + Securities["symbol"].EarningReport.FileDate)
In QuantConnect/Lean, we deal with different types of data.
Securities[Symbol] is a Security object. It does not have fundamental information.
The objects that have fundamental information can only be accessed with a method that as argument of the AddUniverse:
// In Initialize:
AddUniverse(CoarseSelectionFunction, FineSelectionFunction);In this case, the FineSelectionFunction method. There we can loop thought the fine enumerable and display the earnings date:
public IEnumerable<Symbol> FineSelectionFunction(
IEnumerable<FineFundamental> fine)
{
foreach (var x in fine)
{
Debug("The earnings were filed on " +
x.EarningReport.FileDate);
}
return fine
.OrderByDescending(x => x.ValuationRatios.PERatio)
.Take(NumberOfSymbolsFine)
.Select(x => x.Symbol);
}

Let me add that we agree it should have access like that, since some strategies do need/use fundamental outside the scope of universe selection.
We've added this feature to our TODO list. ;-)

Thanks (again) Alexandre! I'm a veteran trader, but new to C#. I appreciate the extended explanation! I feel like a kid in a candy store with these backtesting opportunities!
Hi, in terms of the earnings report filing dates, I noticed your code uses past tense...
Debug("The earnings were filed on " + x.EarningReport.FileDate)Are future file dates also included in the Morningstar data, and if so how far ahead? At minimum I am just looking to access the next date for any particular asset. Thanks in advance! @Alexandre Catarino
Alexandre Catarino is there a reference document that lists all of the fundamental data available? I can't seem to find one for QuantConnect?
Its in the data link in the page header under fundamentals.
