Universe Selection - Gap Up Scanner

Hey Jesse Fleming,

you could copy the screeners that were already made by other people and change the values. For example:

• Stock price over $10
• Gapped up from yesterday's close by >= 2%
• No recent or upcoming earnings
• Indicators

You can start here by trying to understand it and then change the values.

Hope it helps ;)

Okay yes this is very very useful my brother. One thing that pops into my mind is this: 

This particular example is under a class named ‘Universe Selection’. I were to attempt to do something similar, do I have everything in one class, or is the universe selection one class, and then the entries and exits in another or how does that work? 

In short, if I want universe selection, is it combined with the strategy class or must they be separate? 

Jesse Fleming, 

if you’re referring to the second class in the example, no, you don’t have to do it in two separate classes. It will make your life easier though because all symbols will have a different value in self.LastClose and self.Gapup. 
If you want to do it all in one class you will have to work with dictionaries that have these values for each symbol.

Hope it helps ;)
