Hi, I am trying to create a pipeline to get the Ichimoku Cloud (a technical indicator) and also some n days close price, but I keep getting the error 'Term.getitem() expected a value of type Asset for argument 'key', but got int instead.' I tried different things but dont know how to fix it.
The factor needs data like pricing or fundamentals as inputs (numbers), not a universe selection (boolean). You can filter the universe by using mask = universe.
class CloseOnN(CustomFactor):
# Define inputs
inputs = [USEquityPricing.close]
mask = universe
window_length = 0
# Set window_length to one more than the number of days to look back
# my_close_on_10 = CloseOnN(window_length = 10+1)
def compute(self, today, assets, out, close):
out[:] = close[0]
Hi Tentor, thanks for the answer. By the way, do you how to access to the past data of an indicator. I would like to compare the 2 days ago close price against the indicator (In this case the ichimoku cloud) but from also 2 days ago. Thanks in advance
Yes, you need to make the factor window safe like this:
class IchimokuKinkoHyo(IchimokuKinkoHyo):
window_safe = True
Then you can create a simple custom factor that returns the values from 2 days ago (or what window_length you set there)
class Factor2DaysAgo(CustomFactor):
window_length = 2
def compute(self, today, assets, out, factor):
out[:] = factor[0]
