based on the documentation we can use qb.History and qb.GetFundamental to assemble a dataset by calling for a date and symbol pair the date we need.. this is good but in order to prepare a dataset for machine learning we need to actually for each date in Research.ipynb access all the symbols that were tradable for a certain date…How can we do this? I dont want to select manually like 20 stocks i know were listed at the time but instead i want to filter all the symbols that had for example a certain dollarvolume for example and then get the fundamentals for each one…how can i do this using the Quantconnect platform?

Hey Pavel Fedorov,
I would suggest using the backtester(coarse selection, etc) for the symbols at a certain time and then saving those symbols into the objectstore. In the research notebook extract all the symbols from the objectstore and then you can start doing some analysis.
Best,
Nico

thank you Nico,, I am doing exactly this.. just seems like there should be a direct way of doing it because thats like basic first step for any machine learning
