Hi everyone,
I'm not positive that it's related to the FX spread update, but using the API Data provider has stopped working for me since around then. I haven't changed any of my settings, and it was working perfectly before, now I'm getting this error for every day:
Unable to remotely retrieve data for symbol(GBPJPY 5O), resolution(Minute) and date(4/18/2017). Please make sure you have the necessary data in your online QuantConnect data library.
Attempting to get data from QuantConnect.com's data library for symbol(GBPJPY 5O), resolution(Minute) and date(4/19/2017).
I've never seen the "50" part added on when requesting data. Stranger yet, sometimes it will request other symbols as well, like If I'm requesting GBPJPY, it will say GBPJPY 50 and USDJPY 50. And no symbol I request has been working.
I've checked my jobuser id and API token, and they are still the same. My data is definitely in my repository as well. Even for symbols that showed up, but that I wasn't using.

Update:
When I use Oanda instead of FXCM (yes, data is downloaded), I get a whole different set of errors.
When I try EUR/JPY, It first loads EUR/USD and USD/JPY.

This is fine, but then:
ERROR:: Data.UnZip(2): File doesn't exist: C:/Users/..../Data\forex\oanda\minute\eurjpy\20161026_trade.zip.
That error may be because of another error:
ERROR:: EURJPY: requires JPY to have a non-zero conversion rate. This can be caused by lack of data.
Or, it could be, when I check my data/forex/oanda/minute/eurjpy, there's only _quote.zips, and no _trade.zips.
Similarly, when I check my data repository, there's no _trade.zips. Yet, it can't be found.
My guess is this is because of the spread update, how can I fix this? I'm unable to do anything in LEAN locally at the moment because of this.

Another User reported quite the same problem with lean.
