Backtesting Brazilian assets

Hi,
while ago Quantopian launched fundamental data for 26 countries including Brazil. The dataset is extremely limited and I'm having a hard time doing the very basic backtesting. Does anyone have it working for "real world" strategies? If so, please give me a heads up.

Thank you in advance.

Unfortunately, international markets are not yet supported in the
backtester, and by extension, they are not yet supported in the
contest. We don’t currently have a timeline for a contest that
supports international markets. We will provide an update to the
community when we have more information to share.

As the original post stated, backtesting is not yet available for international markets. ‘Only’ the Research environment, which is pretty cool too. For now, you’re best bet is to use Alphalens in Research if you want to try to find Alpha in the Brazilian equity market.
