I'm fetching stocks in my algorithim and I would like to use those stocks as my universe rather than the Q500US universe I'm currently using. How can I do something like this? I'm unsure where I have access to the stocks from the CSV once they've been set in the universe_func.
Thanks for the help,
Thomas
Still unsure how to do this. From what I've seen on the forums, the way I would access the stocks fetched from the CSV is through the data attribute like this:
def handle_data(context,data):
log.info("now handling data")
for stock in data:
log.info(data[stock])But what if I want to gather more information about the stocks, such as their beta value and what not? Any help is greatly appreciated :)
