The message about missing data in your QuantConnect algorithm can occur for various reasons. Here are some potential solutions and steps to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:
Check Data Subscription: Ensure you have properly subscribed to the data for the assets you're trying to trade. Make sure you've added the relevant securities using functions like
AddEquity
orAddForex
. Each security you want data for must be added to your algorithm.Data Availability: Verify that the data for the securities and the time period you are trading is available in QuantConnect. You can inspect any known data issues by checking the Datasets > Data Issues section in Algorithm Lab.
Error Logging and Debugging: Use logging statements to track the flow of your algorithm. This can help you pinpoint where the data might be missing.
Utilize logging or debugging to examine the internal state of your algorithm and its behavior concerning data.
Historical Data: If you are using historical data, ensure your
History
calls are correctly set up. The syntax of theHistory
call should align with the granularity and range you are interested in.Time and Dates: Ensure the time range in your algorithm (start and end dates) aligns with the available data. Adjust the start and end dates within the range where data is guaranteed to be available.
By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the missing data issue in your algorithm. If the problem persists despite these checks, consider reaching out to QuantConnect support with specific details and logs for further assistance.
