The revised code addresses potential issues with 'Gv's original setup to ensure SPX prices are checked and printed after 3:30 PM. Here's what it does:
Extended Market Hours: The algorithm subscribes to the SPX index with extended market hours enabled, allowing access to data beyond regular trading hours.
History Warming: Retrieves history to ensure initial data is available using a basic warming procedure.
Data Processing: The
OnDatamethod remains available for any additional processing, though currently, it does not filter or truncate any dataset.Market Hours Setting: The algorithm is scheduled to run a method specifically set for after 3:30 PM as per New York time.
Final Print Logic: Implements a function,
print_spx_price, scheduled to check and print the SPX price after 3:30 PM, addressing any potential logic error in time handling.The focus is on ensuring data is processed correctly with extended market hours and ensures proper scheduling and data handling within these times. You can integrate this approach into the main file your code references, ensuring your data includes the desired time frames.

I think problem is SPX MarketHours seems to be based on 8:30 to 15:15 Chicago time. How can I convert this to Regular Trading hours based on NewYork time?
