How to retrieve all symbols of a stock exchange ?

Hello,

My intention is to backtest stocks of the Frankfurt stock exchange (FSE) and London stock exchange (LSE) that have high momentum and low Price to Book Value during the last X months. Do you know a file that contains symbols of these two exchanges I could import in Quantopian ?

Thank's
Florent

Hi Florent,

That sounds like a really cool idea and in the future, I'd love to see us being able to support strategies like that. Unfortunately, we currently offer support for US stocks and exchanges but if you were looking for a list of securities like that, Gary Hawkins has provided an amazing list of securities for both the NYSE and the Nasdaq here (https://www.quantopian.com/posts/nyse-and-nasdaq-stock-ticker-symbols-list-ready-to-roll)

Thanks,
Seong
