I would like to check out the Factor Sector Rotation algorithm (https://www.quantconnect.com/explore/14284112/Factor-Sector-Rotation). I get an error message, that tells me I need a subscription to the Kavout Composite Factor Bundle data. The documentation of the Kavout Composite Factor Bundle data (https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/writing-algorithms/datasets/kavout/composite-factor-bundle) tells me, it comes with the US Equity Security Master dataset (https://www.quantconnect.com/datasets/quantconnect-us-equity-security-master). Here I read a) nothing about the Kavout Composite Factor Bundle and b) it comes free in the cloud and can be used there without additional actions necessary. Can anybody help get the Factor Sector Rotation algorithm running?
Thanks,
Melanie

Hi Melanie
Some alternative data is not free. They required subscription of the dataset to compensate the cost of the data vendor and QC to host them. Kavout Composite Factor Bundle was one of them. You need to subscribe in the pricing page to unlock its access in your organization and use it in backtest/research/live-trading.
