I have a dividend strategy which I would like to try it out with DAX, but is there a possibility to get the data?
I enabled Yahoo as Event source provider for the dividend, but the strategy can't fetch the information. I can chose "DividendNorgate" in my indicator for the value, but not something like "Event.Yahoo.Dividend" or something like that?
Can I create my own historical data provider, if I can download somewhere the data?

WealthLab is nothing if not extensible so yes you can build a provider to surface historical dividend data. It would be what we call an “Event Provider.” You’d have to find a source for this data, though.
The Y! Dividends (and Splits) are captured for German stocks as you can see here:
Make sure you're not in Offline mode, make the Event selections as showed in the Data Manager, open a new chart window. Should work.
(By the way, I had to apply that Split myself. It's applied now if you refresh the chart.)

And how can I use this dividend data in an indicator?
They're events, not indicators.
Why would you need it as an indicator?
How would you use it?
Anyway, for an indicator, you can use the Fundamental indicator, select Item Dividend. For the one-time "event", don't select Carry Forward.

Thanks, the Fundamental indicator works.
