I want to see if there is a gap up after earning release so I have something like this to detect if it is an earning date...
given the Code you provided above, I have to loop through all fundamental items for this symbol each time to fish for the right date ? or there is an easier way to access FundamentalItem by calling something directly in fiSeries1 ?
