Dynamic DataSets
The extension provides a plethora of built-in dynamic DataSets that help protect against survivorship bias in your backtesting. You'll find these in the "Norgate Data - Current and Past" DataSets tree node. When using a dynamic DataSet, WealthLab includes and excludes a symbol on a particular date depending on whether it was a constituent in the index at that time.
The extension also provides complimentary DataSets of the indices containing only the current constituents, in the "Norgate Data" DataSets folder.
Events
The extension includes an Event Provider that publishes Dividends, Capital Events, and a large number of other fundamental items that have roughly a one-year coverage period.
