Hi QC Community!
We're thrilled to announce the new Crypto Coarse Fundamental Universe feature. This is the Crypto version of Coarse Universe Selection you may have been using for Equities. This new feature allows us to select a basket of Crypto pairs by its volume or price data, which is helpful to scale our universe to liquid tokens. With further engineering, we can use the filter to select Crypto assets based on the values of technical indicators. For an example of using technical indicators in a universe selection function, see the EmaCrossUniverseSelectionAlgorithm.
Similar to Coarse Universe Selection for Equities, when we add a CryptoCoarseFunamentalUniverse to an algorithm, we provide a filter function. For example:
self.AddUniverse(CryptoCoarseFundamentalUniverse(Market.Bitfinex, self.UniverseSettings, self.UniverseSelectionFilter))
The filter function receives CryptoCoarseFundamental objects, which have the following properties:
- Open: Yesterday's open price
- High: Yesterday's high price
- Low: Yesterday's low price
- Close: Yesterday's close price
- Volume: Yesterday's trading volume on the selected Market, denominated in the base currency.
- VolumeInQuoteCurrency: Yesterday's trading volume on the selected Market, denominated in the quote currency.
- VolumeInUsd: Yesterday's trading volume on the selected Market, denominated in USD. We convert the volume into USD volume to allow fair comparison between Crypto pairs with different base currencies. In most cases, this data is available, however, it is not guaranteed since the conversion requires multiple inter-pair exchanges.
The universe consists of assets from a single exchange because it makes it easier for live trading and we can't get accurate transaction records from decentralized transactions. To analyze Crypto assets from multiple markets, add multiple universes, each with a different Market argument.
In live mode, the pipeline has a 16-hour delay, so the CryptoCoarseFundamental objects are injected into algorithms at around 16:00-16:30 UTC each day, depending on the data processing task. This is not a concern for the classic Equity coarse universe, but since the Crypto markets operate 24/7, some members may notice this delay.
To help everyone get started, we updated the documentation on dataset pages for each Crypto brokerage. To view the one-liner that adds universe selection for each Crypto brokerage, open the Dataset Market, click one of the Crypto Price datasets, and then scroll down to the Getting Started section. To see full C# and Python example algorithms that use CryptoCoarseFundamentalUniverse, on the Crypto dataset listing, click the Examples tab, or find out the C# and Python demonstration algorithms in the GH repo.
As always, let us know if you have any issues or concerns. We will look into them ASAP. Enjoy! 🚀

Hey Louis, this is awesome, thanks! However, when I tried to clone the algorithm, I receive an error that 'CryptoCoarseFundamentalUniverse' is not defined. Any idea why this is?

Hi Dave
This function is only available in IDE 3.0, since the latest LEAN version available for IDE 2.0 doesn't include it. Please upgrade to that by navigating to Your username at top right-hand corner -> My Account -> check "QuantConnect Algorithm Environment 3.0 Beta".

Hi Louis,
I got same issue as mentioned by Santa24.
I tried your demo code using Bitfinex and Binance, with recent data like SetStartDate (2022, 5, 9), but found the Symbol list generated by UniverseSelectionFilter, sorted by VolumeInUsd, is apparently different from the list I got from Bitfinex or Binance APP.

Hi Santa24 and Tony
Unlike statistics provided on the brokers’ websites, our data processing mechanism is based on all available trading pairs in the exchange, not limited to stablecoin pairs only. Also, our data is processed based on the last 24 hours from 00:00 UTC, but not the last 24 hours in real-time. Thus, the data will have a discrepancy.
As per the “weird USDT pairs” query, please be noted that USDT pairs could also be in form of “USDTxxx”, so you may want to call:

Thank you for reporting the issue. This is due to a bug in the data processor that mistakenly took the base currency as the quote currency of the pair. It is now resolved. We're sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Hi Louis,
Thank you for your effort in addressing these issues. I tried again and found the issue seems still there - top USD volume crypto pair list generated by Coarse is totally different from what I got from Binance APP for the same period.
In addition, I also found:

Santa24 : I think that is to be expected because, on line #7, You're *filtering out* symbols that have VolumeInUsd over 10000000.
Removing that line will give you the usual high volume symbols (BTC, ETH, etc).

Hi Louis.
I was hoping you could help me out. I cloned your sample code, and then tried to refactor the universe selection into its own class. However I am running into different errors depending on how I attempt to refactor the code.. I can't attach a backtest since they are failing to compile. So I am inserting the code here.
Here is the main python class
Here is the CryptoUniverseSelectionModel class
The project does not compile since the method signature does not match and it throws the following error:
If I try it by passing the parameters in so I can match the method signature
Then the project fails to compile with the following error
Would you by any chance be able to show me how to properly refactor the code so that the Universe selection lives in its own class? Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Mitch

Louis Szeto Volume, as an indicator, can be particularly deceptive when filtering a universe of cryptocurrencies.
There is evidence of rampant wash trading on centralized exchanges that artificially inflate volume metrics:

Market capitalization is a better indicator for filtering and universe selection.

Hi Louis,
Haven't had time over the holidays to try this but now I got back to working on the local implementation of a crypto algorithm. As you prescribed I tried to copy the two cs files into the `/Lean/Common/Data/UniverseSelection/` directory. However I only found the UniverseSelection directory in my ‘\anaconda3\envs\qc\Lib\site-packages\QuantConnect\Data\UniverseSelection’ and inside of that folder was a __pycache__ folder and two __init__.py files.
I can only assume that since I am using the Lean CLI, that all the actual Lean files are located inside the lean docker image, which I cannot modify. If my explanation is correct, then is there another way to handle crypto universe selection on a local lean CLI installation? Thanks again for all your help.
