Hi,
Does anyone know how to exclude stocks that pay dividends? Maybe something like "x.EarningReports.TotalDividendPerShare.TwelveMonths == 0" within SelectFine, but not sure...
Also, how to avoid trading stocks that yesterday or recently had earnings release?
Thanks!

Hi Emilio,
Your suggestion for how to exclude a company that has paid a dividend in the last 12 months is correct. Adding that condition to your Fine Universe selection will allow you to filter out companies based on whether or not they've paid a dividend. Additionally, you can see when a company reported their most recent earnings using EarningReports.FileDate and so a filter can be added in the Fine Universe selection using this to avoid trading stocks that have recently released quarterly earnings.
