Hello, I am still trying to figure things around, so how I can create a custom universe for let’s say December16th 2016 and display all stocks that were gap up more that 4% and also gap up the day before more than one percent and the average 1 month volume > 250000 and opening price is > $10
Thanks a lot!

Hi LJ; you can check out this example algorithm to get started:
There is also alot of documentation available on the docs page:

Hi Ryan,
Universe data is updated once per day, at midnight. Therefore, it's not possible to filter by the gap percentage or opening price. We can, however, filter for securities based on monthly volume. Refer to the EmaCrossUniverseSelectionAlgorithm for assistance.
Once our universe is selected, we can restrict the collection of securities to only those that have gapped up. To do so, we can use a Scheduled Event as shown in this related thread.
Best,
Derek Melchin
