I'm in the process of learning Python and could really use some help with my Universe selection.
Right now I have a list of symbols called EquitySymbols that can be manually altered to contain the symbols I type in. How would I alter my code so that Instead of having to type in the symbols I want I could use QC's fundamental coarse combo built in Universe selection method to select a new list of symbols every day at a sepcified time?
Thanks so much to anyone that can help!!

Hi Dave,
Universe selection occurs before market open everyday. Because coarse and fine data would not change until the next day, the result of selection would not change no matter what time during the day we perform the selection. We currently don't support immediate universe selection.
After selection, you might want to manage your self.Data dictionary in OnSecuritiesChange() method.
def OnSecuritiesChanged(self, changes):
for added in changes.AddedSecurities:
# do something
for removed in changes.RemovedSecurities:
# do something
Here is another similar post where you might find some help.
