There is a field in the fundamentals database that provides the exchange of a stock: https://www.quantopian.com/help/fundamentals

I don't understand how to implement it. Its not working. I need some help.

Query for securities based on PE ratio and their economic sector

fundamental_df = get_fundamentals(  
    # Retrieve data based on PE ratio and economic sector  
    query(  
        fundamentals.company_reference.primary_exchange_id,  
    )

    # Filter where the Sector code matches our technology sector code  
    .filter(fundamentals.company_reference.primary_exchange_id == NAS)  
)  

what do I do to make this work? do I have to import a package?

At first blush, the exchange id is a string so wrapping NAS in quotes is a first step.

You could give this a try:

def before_trading_start(context,data):  
    fundamental_df = get_fundamentals(  
        query(  
            fundamentals.valuation.market_cap,  
        )  
        .filter(fundamentals.company_reference.primary_exchange_id == 'NAS')  
        .filter(fundamentals.valuation.market_cap != None)  
        .order_by(fundamentals.valuation.market_cap.desc()).limit(50))  
    context.stocks = [stock for stock in fundamental_df]  

It should provide the top 50 NASDAQ stocks, by market cap, on a daily basis (after May 2014; before then, monthly). If I understand correctly, you should not get IPOs on their IPO date. A first trade needs to be encountered before get_fundamentals will admit a stock. Perhaps Josh can confirm this?
