How to add SPY index constituents to a symbol list?

Hey mcdawgzy,

you either have a list with all the symbols and add the QC symbols to a list:

constituents = ['AAPL,'AMZN','MSFT', 'etc']
self.equities = []
for symbol in constituents:
	self.equities.append(self.AddEquity(symbol, Resolution.Daily).Symbol)

or you just simply use QC 500 algorithm that should include all constituents automatically.

Best,

Nico

Hi Nico Xenox 

Does this mean I can simply add the below two lines and then can store this in a symbol/list?

Apologies for the silly question, first time playing with UniverseSelection

        self.UniverseSettings.Resolution = Resolution.Daily

        # Add QC500 Universe
        self.AddUniverse(self.Universe.QC500)

Hey mcdawgzy,

guessing that you want the QC symbol in the list you could add the newly entered stocks in the OnSecuritiesChanged into your list and remove them if they leave the universe or access them like this:

[x.Key for x in self.Securities]

Best,
Nico

You can also do it like this:

self.AddUniverse(self.Universe.ETF("SPY", Market.USA, self.UniverseSettings, self.ETFConstituentsFilter))

symbol = Symbol.Create("SPY", SecurityType.Equity, Market.USA)
self.AddUniverseSelection(ETFConstituentsUniverseSelectionModel(symbol, self.UniverseSettings, self.ETFConstituentsFilter))
