data request, AD ratios

I would love to be able to calculate ratios over an entire exchange. For example the AD ratio and volume ratios at http://eoddata.com/stockquote/INDEX/ADRN.htm I can get the AD ratios for the main stockmarkets and that would help building momentum algo's. Any chance we can get this data or that Quantopian could calculate these ratios from the current data sources.

Hey Peter, take a look at this thread to calculate the ratios from the existing data: https://www.quantopian.com/posts/advance-decline-statistics

Hi Alisa, the problem is the limits that Q has. for the AD data of the S&P500 I need the price data of 500 stocks.... for the Russel2000 I need a bit more. That can't be done in minute mode and that is the only thing I can trade with...I tried Fundamental but I don't have price data in the Query. Any other idea? (except Q calculating the data?)

Ah, that will be possible with the upcoming API changes: https://www.quantopian.com/posts/how-to-build-a-stat-arb-strategy-on-quantopian

Stay tuned!
