I was wondering whether it was possible to add say 6 extra fields to fundamentals that are reserved for user data that one might like to import into Bullcharts via a text file. For instance, through Westpac broking I can get price/book, forecast eps, forecast dps and a whole bunch of other stuff that is quite trivial to drop into a comma delimited spreadsheet and it would be most invaluable to be able to be use this information in a bullscript fundamental scan. I suppose you could call these reserved fields UsrField1, UsrField2 etc cheers davidr

A possible improvement would be to "normalize" this idea and have a collection of custom properties related to each Security that are created and named by the user. This way you are not restricted in number of fields and the meaningful name then can be used in your code: Security.CustomField1 = something 'vs Security.CustomFields("forecast_eps") = something

Good idea. I will see if we can add this to a future version.
