Universe

Defines a static candidate set of assets for a Portfolio graph.

When to use

Use it as the starting data set for filtering, scoring, ranking, or weight calculation.

Example

Create a small symbol universe, pass it through Screen Filter, then calculate weights.

Defines a static candidate set of assets for a Portfolio graph.

Exercise steps

1. Inspect the static EURUSD/BTCUSD basket.
2. Change the selected assets and inspect the Asset Universe output.

Start lesson

Trace a static universe

Choose the authorable Static source and select two supported symbols, for example EURUSD and BTCUSD where the available asset list offers them. The Universe data output is an asset set, not a control trigger and not a fixed Quant Hub multi-asset basket. Connect it to Screen Filter or directly to Weight Calculator. If Screen Filter removes one symbol, the next node sees the filtered set rather than the original two.

The Watchlist source is reserved: do not enter a watchlist identifier by hand or promise dynamic membership. Check each selected symbol against the currently available assets and plan. A valid two-symbol Universe still needs a Schedule Trigger to start the Portfolio control path, and a strategy using it still needs appropriate weights, constraints and a downstream result.

Common problems

Keep entries valid and intentional. Universe supplies data; the Portfolio graph still needs a primary control activation.
