An Example of Fundamental Ranking

That's pretty exciting stuff, Paul. Thanks for sharing. One question: In your FineSelectionFunction there are several lines with the comment, "fix need last year". What does that mean?

Denny, Piatroski's F-Score has you compare the current year to the prior year's value. I couldn't find a way to get last year's value.  What I did was compare the last 3 months to the last twelve months.  I'm not sure I'm getting exactly what I want.  This just gives you an idea of how you can use the fundamental data.  It give you decent returns, but with a lot of volitility.  Also, it runs very slow in backtesting and can use too much ram.

Thanks for sharing, interesting stuff.

Indeed, universe selection algos on QC take a long time to backtest and this is no exception.

Thanks, this is a great contribution. I will be using this as a basis when I find time to experiment with fundametal data.

Great example thank you Paul,

Martin -- the securities are never removed from the collection - it is known, intentional behavior. They have a relatively small impact so it doesn't slow the algorithm down. It is done so at the end of the algorithm we can have proper accounting of the profit and loss on each position for the statistics.

We're pausing on major features for the next couple of months now that we've launched options and futures. We'll be focused on making the engine faster and fixing various bugs.

Hi Jared!

  are morningstar fundamentals available for live trading? 

If they are not, what is the expected release date?

Thanks in advance.

When I run backtest that start from 2017/01/01 , I will got following Memory Usage Maxed Out Exception, How could to solve this issue that if I expect do a long term backtest? Should I need to do more power with Quantconnect Subscriptions for RAM Upgrade ?

Runtime Error: System.Exception: Execution Security Error: Memory Usage Maxed Out - 12288MB max, with last sample of 13669MB.
