I am trying to use the framework, because this is what the bootcamp advocates for.
However, the log and Debug functions are only available in the algorithm class.
How do you log and print messages from the Universe and Alpha classes ?

Ok so I got my answer: it looks like the “algorithm” object is passed to the UniverseSelectionModel, and this object has all the API from the algorithm class.
It would be nice to have that explained in the tutorial.
BTW, where can we see the code for the framework helper functions? The documentation on these is very poor.
Thanks

Hi Quantbert ,
The Bootcamp on Algorithm Framework highlights its advantages, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it's the best choice in all circumstances. I tend to believe that new QuantConnect Members should learn the Classic approach first, then evaluate whether it makes sense to move to Framework.
Could you please clarify what you mean by “framework helper functions”?
Please check out the docs, under Algorithm Framework, for a detailed explanation of each core module.
Best regards,
Alex
