Hello all,
I was curious as to how to use the universe and coarse filter, to filter only Forex types? I don't see any existing ones I could use and the CoarseFundamental object doesnt have any members to identify security type.
Or am I understanding universe and coarse filter wrong?

I think there are only filters for the stock, future, and options universes. I don't think forex has a universe. There is no volume in forex. Forex are currencies so they don't have a lot of the same qualities that a traditional equity has.
Hi Marc Khristian Partoriza ,
We have created the Coarse Fundamental data for US Equity because it is a universe of over 8000 securities that would require computationally demanding procedures such as historical data requests for simple filtering operation.
That doesn't apply to Forex that only has 71 pairs (or CFD or Crypto that don't have hundreds of securities), so it is totally manageable to just subscribe to all pairs or create a custom universe:

def Initialize(self):
# Other initialization
self.symbols = [Symbol.Create(x, SecurityType.Forex, Market.Oanda)
for x in ['EURUSD', 'GBPCHF']]
self.AddUniverse(SecurityType.Forex,
"MyForexUniverse",
Resolution.Daily,
Market.Oanda,
self.UniverseSettings,
self.Select)
def Select(self, date):
# history request and selection logic
history = self.History(self.symbols, 10)
return ['EURUSD'] # List of String
Ah, that makes sense.
Thanks guys!
