Hello, All. What is the best way to add a single symbol (SPY in my case) to an existing universe selection (like the QC500 universe for example)? I tried to use AddEquity, but then when I try to warm up indicators for that symbol using the SetWarmup, it seems to cause some issues with the rest of my code, which is set up for universe selection. I think it would make things easier if could just add the symbol to the universe.

Do you have a filter that makes the universe selection? maybe you could just add the symbol to the list before it’s returned at the end of your universe filter? list.append(symbol)Â

No. I'm not using a filter. Just calling the QC500 universe as follows: self.AddUniverse(self.Universe.QC500)

Hi Garrett Grow ,
I believe the best option would be fixing the issue with AddEquity("SPY").Â
You can copy the Universe.QC500 code (e.g from the QC500UniverseSelectionModel), and add SPY Symbol to the return statement of the SelectFine method:
Best regards,
