These are the functions that return the consensus values of the market which you can reach after entering the estimation values to the database of EquityRT.
Consensus: It returns the consensus values of the market that are collected from the investment companies. There are 6 functions, evaluating the consensus values. Below the descriptions and parameters of these functions are listed.
