Share New Research 
Hello,
From the documentation, I learn the following way to add individual equity; but is there way to add the whole universe without adding each symbol? For example, I want to add all symbols = MorningstarSectorCode.Technology, and search for tech stocks that meet fundamental criteria overtime. What would be the best approach? Thanks
qb = QuantBook()
symbols=["SPY","VMW","TWTR","ADBE","W","UBER","LYFT","WORK","FB","PINS","SQ","MSFT"]
for symbol in symbols:
qb.AddEquity(symbol)
history = qb.History(qb.Securities.Keys, 253, Resolution.Daily)

Hi Hua,
Universe selection is not currently supported in the research environment. For now, this can only be done during a backtest.
For the securities we manually enter into the research environment, we can request historical fundamental data by using the GetFundamental method.
qb = QuantBook() aapl = qb.AddEquity("AAPL").Symbol qb.GetFundamental([aapl], "AssetClassification.MorningstarIndustryCode", datetime(2019, 1, 4), datetime.now())Review our documentation for more information.

Big mak
Would also love for this feature to be added. It feels like I'm trying to do my research in the backtester which is really frustrating to use instead of a notebook.

Is Universe Selection supported in the research environment? If not yet, when?
