JP,

You could develop a spreadsheet with national weather patterns of your choosing and then import that data into Quantopian to compare against stock prices using the fetcher feature.

what im really after is not figuring out a trend .
but rather compare a stock to every thing we could possibly come up with .
then watching a trend emerge ,whether its Cisco being a day behind softball b league .
thank you mr vigilante

JP,

That is somewhat vague, but if you really want to just throw a bunch of random data at stock market returns, then I would suggest conducting some research into machine learning. In particular, you could set up a basic neural network to see if any of your data seems to have predictive power on stock returns. This process takes quite a but of time and effort though, not something to start unless you are committed.

Just my 2 cents

joe, i don't think all the computing power in the world will allow you to attack the problem meaningfully. and since data is growing magnitudes faster than power, i don't think it's going to be doable in the near future. I've tried to correlate just two things, price of 1 stock with price another (for a few hundred stocks), and found that without intuition to guide the process, i did not have enough computing power to explore a few percent of possibilities.
