How do I add Algoseeks free cloud data of US Equities as my universe here for backtesting ? I want to select all US Equities with market cap of more than 100 million dollars as my universe
I am new to the platform and I am unable to start properly as I am unable to select my universe . The only method I got to know is by adding individual stocks which I dont think will fulfill my purpose.
Can you guys please suggest some resource from where I can start as I am unable to understand it from the documentation

You'll want to use a Universe Selection. This allows you to quickly filter by data such as market cap without slowing down your algo or maxing out the memory. I do not see a universe selection for Algoseek. However, you could use Morningstar's Fundamental Universe to narrow down your security list, and then import the data from Algoseek.

Ethan Hammond Thanks a lot for your suggestion.
I am not able to understand how to import Algoseeks data. It would be great if you can help me find the right document or a sample import statemnet or code block which can help me access the data
