Help needed for retrieving equity object from self serve data to place an order

Self Serve Data

I have imported my "signal" from self serve Data :
# Import Self Data Set as pipe object
pipe = Pipeline(
columns={
'signal': test.signal.latest
},
# screen=test.signal.latest.notnull()
)
return pipe

Know when I print context.output.signal in my algo this is what I have :

2018-01-02 15:31 PRINT
Equity(2 [HWM]) None
Equity(21 [AAME]) None
Equity(24 [AAPL]) 1
Equity(25 [HWM_PR]) None
Equity(31 [ABAX]) None
Equity(41 [ARCB]) None
Equity(52 [ABM]) None
Equity(53 [ABMD]) None

I would then like to create an order when my signal is 1 with the method order_percent()

But I am sturggling in retrieving the Equity obect for wich my signal is 1.

order_percent(Equity(24 [AAPL]), 100)

Thanks for your help

Ended up finding the solution :

for stock in context.security_list.index:  
    algo.order_percent(stock, weight)

Where context.security_list.index is the list of stocks I want to buy :
Index([Equity(24 [AAPL]), Equity(1335 [C])], dtype='object')

And weight, whatever wheight i.e. % of your portfolio you want to buy

Hope it helps :)
