I have a list of stocks with targets (goo.gl/vHWPa2). Is there something similar with the ones that hit their target within 3 to 5 weeks that can be used as a filter?
Thanks,
Matt
Hello Matt,
Quantopian doesn't have any inbuilt stock scanning or screening like you might find in TOS or Bloomberg. You could import your list of stocks/target prices into Quantopian using the 'fetch' command but there is no way to lookup a symbol and derive it's SID i.e. symbol MXWL is SID(5155) but you can only get that by typing in the IDE. You can only trade if you know the SID but if your set of symbols was fixed and perhaps a few hundred you could do this once manually. It should then be possible to trade those signals.

Hi Matt,
Here's a quick example. As Peter points out, there is no convenient reverse look-up (e.g. provide a list of symbols to obtain the corresponding list of SIDS).
The log output is:
