QCU Complete Algorithm Framework Help

Hello Community

I am trying to understand the QCU Strategy Example, specifically how to manage selected assets. There is two things I cant understand.

In the ModuleAsset when you change SPY to anything else or remove it the algorithm does not work anymore, I cant find any connection to it or why that would happens.

Secondly when I update the universe using "public List UpdateUniverse()", the new universe of stocks doesnt get used, instead it always defaults back to the default four.

Would appreciate some help !

SPY is special in that it is used as the default benchmark security. You can choose a different benchmark using the SetBenchmark function. As for the UpdateUniverse function, I'm not sure it's intended to add new securities, but rather filter the list of already added securities to perform further analysis on.
