Hi,
I've recently started working with the Framwork and have been able to extend the classes for different Alpha models and risk management models. Kudos on that, it was very easy. It seems very doable, but I'm wondering if anyone has extended the framework for options trading. Also, are there examples of universe selection for options?
Thanks in advance,
Robert

Hi Robert,
We have examples of using Options in a Framework Algorithm here and here. When an algorithm adds an Option and sets a filter for it, this returns a Universe of Options, but there is a way to combine Options contracts and Equities using Universe Selection. Take a look at the backtest I've attached for an example of this.
