Algorithmic Trading Video Series #15 | Data-Driven Research by Louis

Hello Everyone,

It is once again time for a new video in my algorithmic trading series. In this video, we will explore how to perform research in the QuantConnect jupyter notebook research environment. You can check out the video here:

You can access the sample notebook from the video by cloning the backtest that I attached below. Then you'll just have to open the research jupyter notebook file.

If you're new to QuantConnect or my video series, I recommend starting from the beginning.

Don't hesitate to ask questions or leave a comment.

Cheers,

Louis

hey louis, I am curious on how I would go about creating an algorithm that deals with a manual list of stocks. So say I created a list of APPL, MSFT and TSLA but only wanted to invest in the stock with the lowest pe ratio out of the three listed. How would I create an algo that picks only the security with the lowest pe ratio. Without distributing the portfolio equally so lets say MSFT has the lowest pe ratio the algo would select Microsoft and Invest the whole portfolio in MSFT leaving the other securities untouched.
