When will all EventVestor data be available in backtester?

The EventVestor data sets are available in research, but as far as I can tell, only the Earnings Calendar is available in the Q2 backtester. The others cause an error: "Runtime exception: NotPipelineCompatible."

When will the other EventVestor data sets be available in the backtester?

Hi Michael,

We're working on it is the short answer.

The longer answer is that we need to build custom factors akin to the factors we built for the Earnings Calendar. We have pipeline factors in process for buyback authorization, dividend announcements and 13F filings.

Are there others in the list that you'd like to see prioritized? I've heard a bit of interest for the Clinical Trials data set. Any others?

Thanks
Josh

M&A would be great!

+1 for M&A.

I am interested in the clinical trials dataset. Any chance we can get a sample Algo using it?

Any update on the 13F database?
