A number of symbol lists are in CloudQuant at the bottom of the Documentation page...
https://app.cloudquant.com/#/glossary/0
service.symbol_list.in_list(service.symbol_list.get_handle("9a802d98-a2d7-4326-af64-cea18f8b5d61" ),symbol) #SP500
Or if you want to use an unusual list you can create it, upload it to your User_Data section and import it at the start of each day.
service.get_market_hours(date_offset=0) # Gets a tuple with todays open and close timestamps.
opentime = service.get_market_hours(date_offset=0)[0]
todaysDateString = service.time_to_string(opentime, '%Y-%m-%d')
