Quantopian discontinued the integration with Robinhood and they removed the text about trading with your own money. Is there an alternative? Maybe use Interactive Brokers API and then download zipline to mimic quantopians capabilities
Quantopian has now gotten rid of the get_fundamentals command in favor of using pipelines with morningstar. We actually cover this process later on in the course once we learn about piplines. For now, just skip the get_fundamentals() lecture, we'll show you how to use pipelines for fundamental data later on.
