Hi Everyone,
I want to do a very simple thing. After using the pipeline to get the Stocks of interest. I want to add current stocks in my positions in "before_trading_start" function like this:
update_universe(context.my_universe.index.ravel().tolist() + context.day_start_stocks)
I'm not able to do that. Simply how could I create an Equity object. I tried sid, symbol, symbols. Another thing, is there a way to get a list of stocks from my positions directly without looping on them?
Thanks,
Amro
Here is a sample code for completeness:
context.output = pipeline_output('example')
context.my_universe = context.output.sort(['blah_blah'], ascending=False).iloc[:300]
context.day_start_total_position = context.account.total_positions_value
context.day_start_stocks = [sid(pos.sid) for pos in context.portfolio.positions]
log.info("positions index : " + str(context.day_start_stocks) + "\n")
log.info("positions stocks type " + str(type(context.day_start_stocks)) + "\n")
log.info("My Universe stocks type " + str(context.my_universe.index.ravel().tolist()) + "\n")
log.info("My Universe stocks type " + str(type(context.my_universe.index.ravel().tolist())) + "\n")
update_universe(context.my_universe.index.ravel().tolist() + context.day_start_stocks) I haven't tested the code, but here are a few ideas:
context.day_start_stocks = [sid(pos.sid) for pos in context.portfolio.positions]
# can probably be changed to
context.day_start_stocks = context.portfolio.positions.index
update_universe(context.my_universe.index.ravel().tolist() + context.day_start_stocks)
# should probably be
update_universe(context.my_universe.index | context.day_start_stocks)
