About US SEC Filings
The US SEC Filings dataset provides the quarterly financial earning reports that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires from publicly traded companies in the US. The data covers 15,000 US Equities, starts in January 1998, and is delivered on a daily frequency. The data is sourced from the SEC's Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (EDGAR) system. QuantConnect downloads and formats the Quarterly Financial Reports (10-Q) and Annual Financial Report (8-K) filings of companies into a format for easy consumption by LEAN.
About Securities and Exchange Commission

The SEC oversees the key participants in the securities world, including securities exchanges, securities brokers and dealers, investment advisors, and mutual funds. The SEC is concerned primarily with promoting the disclosure of important market-related information, maintaining fair dealing, and protecting against fraud.

Algorithm Example
