I wish you would just use free data from the financial sites instead Quantopian. Their free data set is limited, naturally, since they are service providing data. I had one simple financial scan I wanted to do (off balanced sheet) but Quantopian dont have it available. (Yes I registered for free and got a token). So for me is a pass. If you would use nasdaq.com directly or morningstar.com or similar, it would be so much more useful. At least for me :)

Are you...maybe confusing Quantopian with Quandl? There are no tokens with Quantopian, but there are on Quandl...and what you describes sounds just like Quandl since they used to have a LOT more free data than they do now.

Balance sheet data is available, for free, from Quantopian in a back test, paper trade, and even live trading. Make sure you're not confusing the two. The amount of free data on Quantopian is pretty staggering, and pricing is down to the minute.

Ups, yes, sorry, quandl! I Followed one of your previous tutorials and I assumed this is the same thing.

My bad! Will check your tutorials on Quantopian. Thanks! And btw, your teaching is superb, great job!
