Is there a way to filter out all stocks that have had an 8k or 6k filing in the past 5 days? I have an algorithim that would greatly benifit from excluding any outside forces that are effecting the stock and I thought a great way to filter those out would be by using 8k and 6k filings. I can only find a fine.FinancialStateements.FormType that filters 10k filings and 10Q filings. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

The FormType field of the fundamental data provided by Morningstar outputs more than just the 10-K or 10-Q. When making a quick algorithm, there was also a 6-K, N-CSRS, and 424B4. So it might be worth looking into. Another relevant data field is:
FileDate: Specific date on which a company released its filing to the public.
That being said, data can be imported into the algorithm using self.AddData(). Quandl might have a data source that you'd like to use as well. Here is an example of how to incorporate it into LEAN.
