Is there a built in pipeline factor that gives yesterdays price performance (%) of the stocks? That way if I wanted to filter by stocks that performed greater than 1% yesterday or something.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,
It sounds like you are looking for the Returns built-in factor. Then, you would just need to compare its value to a preset threshold to create a filter. Here is an example:
# Get returns over the previous 5 days
returns = Returns(window_length=5)
# Filter out securities that had lower than 2% returns
returns_filter = returns > 0.02
If you haven't already, I would recommend you checking out our Pipeline Tutorial. It shows you how to dynamically select your trading universe by combining filters, factors and classifiers in your pipeline definitions.
