For my US equity strategy, I want to exclude stocks that have become a target of a merger or acquisition. This means that as soon as an intention or deal is annouced the stock gets flagged. I have been looking for this information in QuantConnect (free or premium) but I was unable to find this.
If anyone was able to incorporate this in any way, I'd be happy to learn how this was done.
Thanks!

Hi Goofball,
This data is not yet built directly into QuantConnect, however, users can look to our alternative data (Tiingo and Benzinga news) for this information.
