Blueshift Questions

Hello Quantinsti Team,



Thanks for creating amazing profuct like Blueshift and making it available at free of cost. This is great product for prototypying trading strategies.



I have started exploring Blueshift and I have two questions:

  1. How I can get detailed explaination of custom modules like "blueshift_library.technicals.indicators". I tried using help and dir inside print statement but they are not working.


  2. How I can get list of all tickers for companies listed on NSE?

    I referred demo at  https://github.com/QuantInsti/blueshift-demo-strategies/blob/master/equities/market_scanner.py  From comments it seems that Pipeline object is the universe of NIFTY500 stocks. So please suggest a way to get full list of symbols.



    Thanks.

Glad to hear you find the platform useful. The blueshift_library is open source, you can check the details at our GitHub pages here. Check out the code file 'indicators.py' under 'technicals' folder there for the module you referred to. For the second part, we do not track ALL tickers on NSE. The daily dataset track the NSE 500 tracks, and the minute dataset tracks F&O stocks on NSE. You can see here for the current list of NSE 500 companies, and here for the F&O stocks. Note: as a security measure we restrict the Python environment on blueshift, this include some introspection functions like 'dir'.
