am looking at
https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/algorithm-reference/universes#Universes-Option-Universesare there any documentation on
self.SetFilter(universeFunc): would be great to filter based on forward price instead of spot price. And ideally by delta instead of minStrike and maxStrike

Hey Andrew,
The SetFilter functions are found in Option.cs. SetFilter(UniverseFunc) takes a function which given an OptionFilterUniverse returns another OptionFilterUniverse.
Here's an example of a UniverseFunc using OptionsFilterUniverse:
def UniverseFunc(self, universe):
return universe.IncludeWeeklys().Strikes(-1, 1).Expiration(timedelta(0), timedelta(1))
Unfortunately, it is not currently possible to filter options in universe selection based on greek values. However, it is possible to further filter your options once you retrieve them from the options chain. You can manually filter for greeks or forward prices here.
You can learn more about options in our documentation.
