Pulling Chicago Fed National Activity Index (CFNAI) into FM

[twj332]

Hello Everyone,

Like the Advanced & Google Search features Mark. Nice work.

Have question on how to and where to get index data on the Chicago Fed National Activity Index (CFNAI).
Like the baltic dry index, I would like track this index.
FYI
The index is a weighted average of 85 existing monthly indicators of growth in national economic activity drawn from four broad categories of data: 1) production and income; 2) employment, unemployment, and hours; 3) personal consumption and housing; and 4) sales, orders, and inventories. All merged into one indicator.
Thanks

Hello,

I don't think any current quote server in FM offers CFNAI or Baltic Dry Index. I think you'll have to import the quotes manually, or retrieve them automatically outside of FM with an external script and retrieve them in FM with the <local file> quote server.
